Adri is a complicated character. When writing her, I always drug myself away from the Mary Sue trope while also making sure she wasn't such an emotional wreck that she functioned unrealistically. The question remains: How would someone in such an oppressive society with enough power to attract the attention of Ranae, act?
I was going to give you a list of strengths and weaknesses when I realized that labeling Adri's qualities as good or bad was impossible. You see, not only do characters go through arcs, they have BEEN through arcs. Adri has had to curb her strength to learn patience and peacemaking. And in Nehnia, those and good and admirable qualities. But in Ylva, these are considered weak and dishonorable.
Adri's hard work is no longer considered valuable. Her strengths are no longer strengths.
I hope you enjoy reading her journey as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
