#SS's revelations making changes to her character that I would argue are incredibly OOC / etc.)

now I’m willing to admit that maybe I’m a little insane and I’ve read into things too much but like. to this day Naryu’s character writing of ‘a bi woman using flirtation as a tool and defense mechanism bc she’s an assassin who’s literally never known anything else bc she was born into and groomed into the position by her father, a Potentate executioner, and her deepest hidden desire in her interactions with the Vestige is a sense of normality and domesticity untainted by her job (remember that Naryu’s implied to have not had a great childhood in the family department either) that she never gets bc she’s an assassin from birth from a group that’s just barely standing and she needs to play her part in holding it together’ is honestly something that I still legitimately point to as some of the best character writing that I legitimately still enjoy even years out from when it first dropped

#Naryu tag #like honestly Naryu being a killer who still wants things like domesticity and is still a downright motherly / caring / and loving person #(even if she covers it with abt 100 layers of denial and snark first) #is such a refreshing mixup from the typical 'female femme fatale assassin' trope. #like there are still things I have issues with (Naryu falling into bi stereotypes is something that deserves to be mentioned #SS's revelations making changes to her character that I would argue are incredibly OOC / etc.) #and while I'm not willing to say that my reads were intended by the writers I do think she deserves to be read as more than a flirty NPC. #saint.txt
