YMMV / Xanadu (Vicky Wyman)

• Draco in Leather Pants: Quite a few fans insist on seeing the treacherous murderous racist snob Reginald Plume as the 'real hero' despite his being a completely unrepentant literal backstabber.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: Vicky Wyman later admitted that she didn't establish Reginald Plume as a villain clearly enough in the series' beginning, such as Empress Alicia was rightly concerned he had designs on the throne. After all, he was responsible for the Ever-Changing Palace's security and thus was justified to chase down Tabbe for breaking into it. Furthermore, Tabbe technically raped his girlfriend, Fatima (It was more like he seduced her, albeit without the explicit option of declining, and she admitted to Plume's face that he was very gentle about it) while in the commission of that trespass and some readers note that one would understand Reginald would really want to make him pay for that. The facts that Tabbe and Jonathan thwarted him, Fatima didn't mind her encounter with Tabbe to the point of falling in love with the cat, and Plume was suddenly saddled with a dragon warrior from the Golden Realm to enhance security that he is not trusted by the Empress to manage as he sees fit are further insults that you'd half understand the villainous deeds he does next.
