Watching DTA in binge fashion, I find myself utterly and madly in love with The Dowager. Her values and poise, I do not relate to– Irresistibly lovable for her priceless authenticity- unyielding to anything outside of her principles. She is the ultimate BadAss–even with zero spirituality, she is completely honorable. Probably for abiding by a Power Greater than Her Self to guide her every move. 
Violet just does her thing, love her!
I want to eat her Up!
