To the two posters above, Vernon specifically excludes characters with mental illness/ disability.
I'll offer up Little Women, it has the clever sister and other 'not-so-clever but with other desirable qualities' sisters. None of them is really dumb though. As a side note, when we took a poll in college to ask which Little Women we identified with 100% of the girls choose Jo. Which explains why are so few non-bright characters around.
