I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO NYAS complex ass emotional ark in skybound
It’s not perfect but I’ve been fighting my Nya notes for like a week please be proud of me. TT
I’ll finally be able to put to words the Nya characters ark
The three main themes of her struggle I overlap so much they were hard to find the words I settled on.
Belonging -main theme her new role/place on the team
Misogyny - the complex extra shit she’s having to deal with for existing a girl.
Perseption- how she is misunderstood and judged by others.
(Ramps up the other two problems.)
Over her character arc she’s out of the public eye, gets to really be a ninja in the team, learns Airjizu and most importantly finally feels understood and listened to by Jay in the lighthouse.
It no longer matters as much to her how the “world defines her” because of him. He sees her.
So she goes on to make choices to define herself.
Like confessing to Jay despite it making her “just Jays girlfriend” to some annoying people.
And choosing to save him by shoving him face first through the portal! >:)
(I do wish they let her do more with her new conviction to define herself)
