No, I don't think Brand is all ruthlessness. She's also wit and enigma and confidence. All of those things are attractive I think. :)
And you're right - she's not the sort of person to stay out of the way and if her death or anything else would save the world, I think she'd give it unaskingly. Hank may not agree with her all the time, but the fact that she's not hypocritical does make a huge difference.
And lastly, absolutely, I think the fact she finds him attractive and unabashedly enjoys having sex with him is a draw.
Naturally. Having someone find you attractive/interesting is a huge turn on and for Hank, who is so often rejected because of the physical (not just by girlfriends, but by everyone), I think that would make a HUGE difference. I just hope I don't make him sound shallow when I say that - seeking companionship is a fairly primal urge.
Especially given his last girlfriend broke up with him when the media accused her of bestiality and was ashamed of him.
That broke my heart for him. It really did. *hugs Hank*
