ELAIN APPRECIATION WEEK

˖ ݁ . My top 5 favorite Elain Archeron moments ! No. 4

“What now?” Elain mused, at last answering my question from moments ago as her attention drifted to the windows facing the sunny street.

That smile grew, bright enough that it lit up even Azriel’s shadows across the room. “I would like to build a garden,” she declared. “After all of this…I think the world needs more gardens.”

It's pro Elain, but nuanced takes are allowed! It's a place to discuss theories about her character, share fan art, talk about why you love her character, headcanons etc ! Since we don't have Elains POV yet, there's so much to discuss, everyone is welcome 🫶 please read the rules before posting

˖ ݁ . My top 5 Elain Archeron moments ! No. 5

The two Illyrians paused their inspection of me long enough to note my sisters finishing up breakfast, Nesta in a pale gray gown that brought out the steel in her eyes, Elain in dusty pink.

Both males went a bit still. But Azriel sketched a bow—while Cassian stalked for the dining table, reached right over Nesta’s shoulder, and grabbed a muffin from its little basket. “Morning, Nesta,” he said around a mouth of blueberry-lemon. “Elain.”

Nesta’s nostrils flared, but Elain peered up at Cassian, blinking twice.

“He snapped your wings, broke your bones.” I tried to shut out the sound of Cassian’s scream—the memory of the spraying blood. Nesta stared at her plate. Elain, at least, was out of her room, but …

“It’ll take more than that to kill me,” Cassian said with a smirk that didn’t meet his eyes.

Elain only said to Cassian, “No, it will not.”

✿⋆.˚⋆₊ ⊹ Elain Archeron

Something I absolutely love seeing in FMCs is their courage and strength in stepping into their destiny and leaving their safe and sheltered life. I grew up watching like Sailormoon, Inuyasha, and Fushigi Yuugi. I loved watching ordinary girls take hold of their greater destiny and experience a fated love!

Elain has been constantly guarded and coddled, told that she shouldn't do the very thing she herself said she wanted to.

She is comfortable where she is, living a simple life, but we're shown through hints that her destiny, her fate is something much greater. There is fear in stepping into that, trepidation in venturing into the unknown, but courage and strength in leaving safety behind for something bigger than you could have ever imagined.

This is why I love the idea of Elain being High Queen or High Lady of Spring Court! She's capable of doing so much, being so much more than what everyone else assumes. Seeing her help Vassa break her curse, healing the lands, using her wit and charm to get what she wants, and using her seer powers to aid her friends. I want to see Elain show everyone that she's not some weak woman and she's fully capable of doing anything she sets out to do!

Snippet below:

“You’re so cute when you get frustrated,” came a voice so familiar to her, it could rouse her from her deepest sleep.
