OH MY GOD YES I always forget that one. Active. Yes. Main characters should be the main for a reason. If it is a choice between having the MC do something and character X do the same thing, and it doesn't matter which one they do, have the main character do it. If the main character has done too much, have them help. And for the love of GOD let them make some of the choices in their own life. Both Anita Blake and City of Bones had the same damn problem. The main characters never chose to be involved in the terrible situations. They just went with the godawful flow. Sometimes Anita might as well be a stuffed doll the boys lug around.
