I’ve seen Emerie being used a prop, or reduced to her friendship with Nesta, or her potential ship with Morrigan and like… here we are, with a female woman of color that is CANONICALLY a WoC, and from an author that rarely gives us anything other than white muses, and she’s also LGBTQ representation, and a reminder that one is not defined by their trauma. She’s representation for people that haven’t been represented in books in a while, and she’s a character that deserves more. She’s intelligent. She’s tough. She’s driven as fuck and insanely strong. And she deserves to be seen as such.
