#trashta

When I read the webtoon I always think of Navier as someone beautiful and mature like Shin Minha or Shin Hye Sun in my head. A mature empress in her 30s who slogged behind the scenes for years. And if she is in her 30s it does much better for the whole “heir” debacle to make sense and flourish. Otherwise it makes no sense why Shoveshit is so desperate for an heir when Navier is only in her 20s.

Navier Ellie Trovi

The divorced one

Navier came from an well off family but i think she also works

A empowered independent bussiness woman

Honestly Navier reminds me of Astrid in the book/movie crazy rich asians and Princess Diana☹️✨

Owns multiple penthouses and estates she inherited from her parents

A fashion icon and socialite, the queen never misses out on the latest trends

Her interests would probably be yoga (to clear her mind from all the shit sovieshit and trashta has done for her)

Occasionally visits charity events and donates to orphanages and support womens rights

Owns a black card

Rashta

This raging beech

I hate to admit it but rashta is sooooo pretty, if only she wasn't a trash i wouldve adored her

Rashta reminds me of those chinese influencers who wants to marry rich actors or idols

She kinda gives an anna delvey vibes

Came from an poor family, yet she still manages to somehow keep up with the latest trends by pulling some strings

The definition of "I see it i want it i got it."

An problematic influencer and a clout chaser

Buys fake followers and rents designer bags and clothing

Pick me girl

Talks how annoying her fans are but is kind when meeting someone

Good at acting, has potential on being in a play

Got kicked out from fashion school for designing a dress that looks like a mop and a christmas tree

Lord McKenna

Would 100% be a PA or a model

Martial arts kind off guy

Has tons of followers on instagram

HE does ballet

HE plays the violin and the piano

Would get scouted on the streets for a modeling gig

Goes to art school

This boy pulls of ton of women in the campus and streets

Chill dude part of the popular kids

Ideal BF

RICH but does not flex, he tryna keep it lowkey but somehow people found out

Later in the story she does get more antagonistic by the episode but she was doing everything she could to keep herself and her child safe while coping with obvious truama. She is swimming with sharks in the court but the fans want to rip her to peices when Rashta literally does anything.

Recently I saw someone mention how Rashta helped Naviers ex husband cheat on Navier which is honestly crazy to me. It was very clearly stated past emperors had mistresses so there should be no problem there. Plus its obvious Sovishu loved Rashta, I wouldn't go so far as to say he was IN love with her but damn. Him and Navier had never admitted to one another or even hinted at being in love with eachother. Of course the fans know Navier was, and we learn Sovishu was later, but all he wanted to do was save his kid.

One can point out he thrusted Navier off the throne for the kid so she had every right to leave, and hell yeah she did. She made the best our of her peculiar situation and that's why I love Navier so much. Sovishu should have of atleast TALKED to Navier about it.

While the Remarried Empress has been on a well-deserved hiatus, I’ve been reading it over again. I find that re-reading is always interesting because it gives you the chance to see if you might come out with a different opinion or point of view, especially now that you have had some foresight into future events. While I’ve reconsidered my thoughts and feelings on some things in my latest re-read, one thing hasn’t changed and that’s my opinion of Rashta.

Oh, Rashta. The most hated female character in the entire webcomic. Reading the comments wherein she’s often nicknamed “Trashta,” you may be convinced she’s the most hated female character in general. I do understand the criticisms directed at her, however I find it errs toward vitriol and I simply cannot bring myself to the same boiling point when I see her to be a misunderstood victim of her circumstances

Am I saying Rashat is perfect? No.

The makings of a fairytale became a reality for her. Though I don’t believe she truly loves Sovieshu, the Emperor, love isn’t required in order for her to have been sold on this fantasy. Keep all of this in mind as I believe her character flaws stem from this very point.

Rashta has many character flaws, she certainly puts the “Rash” in her name by making quick decisions without thinking about the consequences of her actions. She’ll impulsively lie and be deceptive for reasons that can be vexing for most. She also puts a lot of stock in what people think of her, often leaning into paranoia rather than self-reflection. Moreover, she will position herself to be pitied and doted on by the Emperor.

Petty and annoying things, assuredly. However I don’t believe that these flaws are worthy of such strong disdain, particularly in the beginning episodes of the webcomic.

He actively pitted Rashta against the Empress as he would make a scene over every small thing Navier did. He painted it as though the Empress despised Rashta and was scheming to get rid of her from the start. I believe this caused Rashta to feel the need to lie about Navier’s acceptance of her to save face with the nobles, as well as paint the Empress as a villain to Sovieshu.

Anything she perceives as a risk, no matter how benign it may look on the surface, is detrimental to her well-being, not just a minor concern that can be overlooked. You can find examples of this behavior in Chapters 17 and 18. Viscount Lotteshu, who used to own Rashta, threatened his way into meeting with her after making a scene at the party about her origins.

Through her experiences as a slave and how she is treated thereafter, I believe this is what shapes her opinion of how nobles and royalty behave. They are either sickeningly sweet or horrendously wicked. They may dote on her one moment and the next be plotting for her downfall–and, for Rashta, it is a very steep fall. She is nearly powerless to her circumstance as she is in a constant state of potentially losing everything.

Yes, Rashta lies. Yes, she’ll do petty things to Navier. Yes, she schemes in order to keep herself in her position. However, she is tortuously navigating her way through a world she had lucked into, a world she was never prepared to enter.

Navier, in stark contrast to Rashta, was raised for the sole purpose of being an Empress. She was taught and prepared to handle issues with a level of decorum and intention behind everything she does. Meanwhile, Rashta never had such training and possibly can’t even begin to grasp these concepts as she attempts to, essentially, cosplay the role of a noble that’s been thrust upon her by current circumstances.

Rashta is blinded by her suffering as she impulsively does dishonest and questionable things. Her actions and the actions of Sovieshu are all adding up, plummeting her into a downward spiral in later chapters. Though she never had tact to begin with, her means of avoiding trauma become even more careless and messy. This is a type of hell all on its own, as her attempts to run away from her pain are causing her to careen right toward it. Yet, that’s why I like her as a character, because she is an example of there being no such thing as a “perfect victim.”

When I see people hating on Navier then praise Rashta by using the excuses of “Rashta used to be a slave and Navier was always lucky for being born a noble” or the excuse of “Navier didn’t try to stop slavery even though she had the power to.” As a naturally defensive and aggressive person I flip out, I know pretty stupid. So I’ve decided to rub the last two halves of my braincell together and give my opinion on it.
