She's a girl stuck in an impossible circumstance emotionally. She has all her past traumas and those sometimes lead her to not always act in her own best interest or those around her. But she's trying! She spends a lot of her time juggling the feelings of the guys around her - it's exhausting - but so many fans give her no leeway and act as though she's just selfish. She's allowed her anxieties. She's allowed to fail. She's allowed to want things and not always be able to balance everything to make it perfect for everybody. Justice for Joey and boo to the narrative that constantly backgrounded her perspective.

She’s such a fascinating character, she’s just a young woman trying to navigate a changing world and a very unfamiliar situation while dealing with grief from her father’s death and her responsibility to her culture & people. She’s very complex, sometimes afraid and sometimes bold, sometimes open and curious and other times wary and distant, in some ways she’s the only person who knows what’s really going on and in other ways she is kept out of the loop intentionally. She’s kind and generous but she’s not above pettiness. She tries and she fails and she keeps going and she accepts consequences. She feels a very similar tension between duty, fear, and survival that all of the other characters also go through. She is definitely not just there for goodsir to be nice to. Narratively she basically represents the thesis of the show, she’s able to survive and thrive when not having to deal with their bullshit and her life is irreparably changed by the way they interact with the arctic environment. She shows that there’s a way to live outside of the hierarchy & empire imposed by the British.
