Penny is, I think, a very strong contender for the hottest of the LIs. And while everyone has their own reasons, I think these are some common ones that Luna gets high marks:
- Her family. Her dad is great, and has taken a definite liking to MC. Uncle, grandma, they love MC, they love Luna, they're fun to hang out with.
- Her sense of humor. Pitch black and completely deadpan.
- She's very sweet. She wins a $3500 implant and just gives it to her dad to bring traffic to the cafe. She apologizes to the Boggles she has to destroy (well, until the one that mimics her mom).
- Looks aren't usually much of a factor in how I rank LIs (because they're almost always at least 8/10), but Luna is very pretty, and some of us aren't as much of a fan of giant breasts.
What tends to hurt the Carters' ranking, among those who don't rank them very high, isn't that there's something wrong with them, but that they just don't have anything all that special. Annie's the childhood friend. Nova's, well, Nova. Luna's kinda goth with a great family, dark humor, and as sweet as can be. Alex is an Olympic-class athlete, a Bardot, and has the ink. None of the Carters really have a "hook" like that. They're all beautiful women, they all have the hots for MC, but in many people's eyes, they don't have something that makes them special like many of the others.
