Fred gets a lot of eyerolls for being such a ~good girl (and to be fair, Joss deserves some of the criticism for writing ~quirky girls), but this doesn't mean she isn't interesting. Her dominant streak throughout the show is her fundamental disagreement to go down without a fight, and that overrides her bubbly personality when the stakes are high. Late s4, anyone? She came and saved the handsome man from the monsters.
What's most interesting in Fred/Wesley for me is that they both have those fairy tale notions of love that they nurse -- not because they're so naive, but because they have hope for something beautiful. And I want to see their relationship when those fairy tale notions are gone, and they're left with the ugly truth. Forever bitter the show didn't give it to me.
