Tbh meeting Gemma Bronzebeard was such a fucking twist and a half. Like for the whole 1st 30 eps I thought Jenna was going to be like a normal dwarf woman who broke up w Hardwon because he kept going “watch this!” And utterly failing to climb up walls or because he kept calling himself “the Bastard of Iron Deep” despite probably not being the only dwarfen who didn’t know who his parents were. I expected it to be CRINGEY and LAME (like most parts of Hardwon’s backstory that he knows about tbh).
Instead you find out that his ex was pretty hot and kinda sorta maybe royalty (enough that she was going to marry a well-respected warrior from Frostwind) and most importantly WAS STILL KINDA HUNG UP ON HIM. Hardwon being cool intentionally is like so shocking to me backstory wise I refuse to accept it.
