Okay so in Highschool my friend, who is Arabic, never saw any characters she related to in stories until she read Vampire Academy and there was Rose Hathaway. Rose Hathaway in the books is described to be darker toned with dark, thick hair, and dark eyes, which we later found out she inherited from Her TURKISH father. My friend was so happy that when the movie dropped she insisted we see it, except the actress for Rose wasn't middle eastern. Then the TV show came out and agian not middle eastern. For f*cks sake Vampire Academy has twice now dropped the ball on getting the appropriate actress for Rose Hathaway, because all my friend wants to see is a badass middle eastern Women who isn’t painted as a damsel in distress or terrorist, is that too much to ask???????
