Sar and I watched last week's Grey's episode tonight and I came to the final conclusion that, while I looooooooooove Christina and Arizona, the character I am most like is actually April Kepner. Case:
You either love her or hate her. Her personality either grates on you like you're swallowing broken glass, or you find her cheerful peppiness adorable. No one feels neutral about April. Either you want her to STFU or be your best friend. (Personally I usually want her to STFU)
She is the most insecure. She's smart, organized, her patients love her, she can get impossible jobs done. She is one of the best doctors but she is obsessed with failure. Constantly fussing over schedules and lists and tests, worrying about getting people to like her, convinced she is going to bomb whatever task is ahead of her.
She makes mistakes. Remember when she actually got kicked out of the program because she let that burn victim die a couple years ago? (That was infuriating, a nurse would've caught that. Ugh!) Everyone else makes horrible decisions all the time, but she's the only one whose decision really came back to bite her in the ass.
She falls for inappropriate people. Remember when she fell in love with Derek?? That was creepy. And then the new Peds attending who was like 50-something? And who can forget Alex in the on-call room. Jeese, girl, get it together! Now of course there's her best friend, Avery, which is heading for disasterville...unfortunately, since I've been shipping them since season 6.
She's the girl next door. When held at gunpoint she spills her guts to the shooter, revealing she's from Ohio and stating "I haven’t done anything yet. I haven’t. I’ve barely lived. All I’ve done is win science fairs and go to medical school. I’m not finished yet. I’m not finished yet. No one’s loved me and, please. Please. I’m someone’s child! I’m someone’s sister. I’m a person. I’m a person."
Superfreak. This is the title of the episode where April not only reveals she's pretty much the only virgin in the entire freaking hospital, but also that she is the most hardcore of all the doctors: the only one able to pass the Trauma Simulation, securing her identity at the trauma junkie, the soldier, Hunt's little protege.
