#adira apologist

I want everyone to know that ☝🏻THIS☝🏻 is how I see Adira, both in TTS canon and my Incarnate fic.

She's the only member of the Brotherhood who remained "active" after the Dark Kingdom fell.

("Active" meaning she was working towards her goal of defeating the Moonstone once and for all, while Quirin left the Brotherhood to pursue a pastoral family life and Hector isolated himself from the world.)

She's the only person in the entire Dark Kingdom who believed the Moonstone wasn't omnipotent - that it had a weakness or counterpart with the ability to neutralize its destructive power.

She dedicated 25 years - 2 a half decades - of her own life to finding the Sundrop, even though she was completely on her own and none of her loved ones believed in her. She was counted as one of King Edmund's most trusted warriors, and she openly defied him because she believed her plan would ultimately save him from a lonely and fruitless vigil.

She refused to give up on a rekindled relationship with Hector, even after he promised to kill her for her treason and betrayal.

And at the end of S3 she returned to her reinvigorated homeland, side by side with her king and her brother-in-arms, to resurrect a kingdom that had been dead and gone for 25 years.

Adira is more than an excursionist, more than a knight, more than a hero. She is living symbol of hope incarnate. (And when it comes to a beat-down, drag-out fight, she's rarely the one spitting out teeth.)

(If any TTS character deserves a spinoff show it is this woman 👏🏻)
