Note

Majority of the fandom likes Zoya over Alina and I don't know why.

Nikolai's duology has certainly made her popular. Most people nowadays love bitchy characters with a tragic past and a happy ending so Zoya ticks their boxes.

📝 She can turn into a dragon and has so many new cool powers so she's a badass.

📝 She is a bitch but she has a "good" reason to be.

📝 She has fallen in love with Nikolai (another popular character).

📝 She has a tear-jerking past (which is always endearing)

In a summary, fandoms and media never change, dear anon.

#anti zoya nazyalensky #anon asks #my own opinion is that this is a very cowardly way to create a character #why give her a tragic childhood? why can't she be a bitch from birth?#let some characters be bastards without any real cause for it #and don't put tragic pasts to bitchy characters so you can excuse their behaviour jesus....#instead use it to develop the character. his decisions and his actions #alina starkov #shadow and bone #grishaverse #anti leigh bardugo #anti nikolai duology
