ooc; No, not at all.  I think Louis is honestly very tough.  While he undeniably can be melancholy, he is and always has been a fighter, even when he himself might not have wanted to be.

There are many examples of how he’s actually a strong independent vampire that don’t need no man very willing to fight for himself throughout canon.  His father died and he became the master of the plantation.  That time he fought Lestat on the Freniere issue.  When he set his own house on fire.  When he kind of set Lestat on fire.  When he set a whole theatre on fire.  When he pretty much was like “ok bye” when Armand left him.  When he basically survived those years by himself before Lestat resurfaced.  When he legit never put up with Lestat’s bullshit from TVL onward.  Lestat himself said that Louis acts as his conscience much of the time, and to be that conscience, Louis has to be strong.

There’s a reason he’s one of the only vampires to have never went to ground.

I think, to be honest, the only person that’s capable of making him “fragile” is Claudia because he feels/felt he’s responsible for all of her sorrows and anger.
