In a close campaign…

Count our Heather Blakeslee, our lovelorn young lady from Swiped Sweetheart, the winner of our Trish Dwight middle-school favorite villainess title! Well, not quite villainess, since poor Heather was acting out of a desperation born from her misapprehension that her friend Dru was not only playing to Travis Dwight (her eventual husband), but also to her own beloved-from-afar Jeremy Pringle! All it took was some sleuthing by Trish and Krysten (and some heart-to-heart with her captive Dru) to straighten her out! It’s nice to see that we don’t need all our villains to be evil monsters! We just need them to capture a few Snoops every now and then!

Now, to the next stage in our favorite-Snoop-villain election—Trish’s junior-varsity years. Trish was now a high-schooler; smart and incisive in her own style. But who would ever have thought that she would also become a cheerleader (with a wink and a smile to the GDIT hostess-with-the-mostest Deanna, everyone’s favorite cheerleader!)? And who would have ever thought that she would befriend a descendant of Maggie Provenzini (from The Secret Weapon) in the person of Maggie O’Hara in The Professor’s Daughter? Or that the new Maggie would end up Hannah Watson’s sister after tangling with the same Fire Dragons who nearly killed Maggie’s Dad, run by the now-infamous Madame Chang, in Saving Time?

Of course, those weren’t the only hijinks of Trish’s junior-varsity years! Who can forget her run-in with evil businessman Jim Alton and his henchmen in Case of the Deadly Dossier? Or that business with The Ringmaster (one of Katie Spencer’s most dangerous villains from the pen of our dear friend darial04) in Return to Camp Evergreen which brought Katie Spencer into the Snowden world? And who can forget her first case working with her little sister Abbie, The Case of the Purloined Paramours, in which we found that even boyfriends can be villains? And speaking of Abbie and her friends, let’s not forget Dr. Newland, whom Trish helped run to earth after he took away Serenity to be his replacement daughter in Seeking Serenity! Such a cornucopia of fascinating villains! So take the poll and tell us who you think is the best of the lot!
