I know we've discussed her a bit in other threads, but I feel that this tragic character deserves her own thread.
Allie is one of the characters in the series who frequently comes to my mind, sometimes more often than members of the ka-tet. When we first meet her in The Gunslinger, she's just so pitiful, with her safety pin dress and scar on her forehead. I feel for her, I think she's could have really been somebody if she wasn't trapped, wasting away in Tull.
Anyways, let's start discussing Allie...Roland's "first sacrificial lamb" in the Dark Tower series as Bev Vincent calls her in his book The Road To The Dark Tower.
