shallan is such a vibrant character and I'm convinced it's partially because she embodies so many roles at once. she is the heart, the brains, the damsel, the rogue, the artist, the scholar, the spy, the diplomat, and even the firepower at times. she moves fluidly between all these roles, finding her capability in each of them, and in the process grows and changes non-linearly. she's continuously questing to find herself, and that quest gives her the freedom to explore all the different sides of herself within a relatively self-contained narrative.
