I think the male characters generally have more going on within them, and a lot of the female characters are just sort of "nice". KLS's characters are usually fretting and in danger. Carolyn after Jason is sort of neutral. ECS is just rich and dignified. Victoria is earnest and pure of heart. Megan Todd before the snake is SO nice and good-natured that it's hard to take. But to be fair, so is her husband. Get those two and Carolyn in the same room and it's more "nice" than humans were built to stand.
On the other hand, Barnabas has layers, conflicting motivations, a unique point of view..... we don't wonder what's going on within Carolyn, but we do with BC, Quentin, Petofi...
Angelique, Julia, and Beth are exceptions I guess.
