How Do You Solve Parks and Rec’s Ann Perkins Problem? | Vulture

“One who rarely gets quotable lines and seems only rarely to be essential to the story: Ann Perkins. She deserves better…”

This article nails it on the head:

Leslie is perky and almost naively ambitious; she’s a goofy drunk and has an outrageous sweet tooth, but is also a hoarder.
April is sulky and sour and hates everything — except Andy, Ron, and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Ron is a libertarian meat-lover with outstanding survival skills and even more outstanding one-liners. Jerry is the worst.
Donna’s a fox.
Tom’s a high-energy wannabe-douche who’s secretly a nice guy,
Andy’s a human golden retriever,
Chris is a health-obsessed perfectionist who can’t stop saying “litrally” and believes he can live to be 150.
Ann is … a nurse.

While a perfect foil to Leslie, she lacks her own definition. Even Karen was better than this!

Someone should write a thesis on the relationship between Ann and Leslie. And by someone I mean Tumblr. [tropical fish]
