Before the show, I would see those lamenting these pirates having a "pretty pink princess," whom I would see people predict as ending up the "helpless damsel" sort.

Ahim is ... anything but. One of the most fantastic things about her character is that she appears so prim and proper, and yet it masks the fact she is very good at manipulating things, and can insult you right to your face but sound so polite in doing it.

A lot of folks don't seem to like the episode with the kidnapper early on, but I love it for the simple fact it was when we really got to see all of that on display. As I said in another thread, she played both the kidnapper and the Action Commander like fiddles. Particularly the Action Commander, and just so casually framing him proved one thing... She may be the Princess of a fallen world, but she's a DAMN good pirate when it really comes down to it.

Personally, I just found that episode a bit dull compared to the rest.

Anyway, Ahim has really grown on me as the series has gone on. It's so nice to see a royal who can kick ass, and do it well. Also, she has inexpicably gotten cuter as the series has gone on. I think it has to do with her putting her hair back.
