ivypool is a character who has a really really good concept that the fandom does admittedly catch on to, but in the actual books the execution is just so. weird.
#she gets jealous of dove as a child and thats fine thats normal sibling behavior and its not expected that she gets the prophecy#or why her sister has more eyes on her. that makes sense i take no issue. same w herbecoming a dark forest trainee#perfectly fine trajectory very good conflict and makes her a good parallel to hollyleaf#but like... ppl love to act like dove was all smug and vain abt how popular she was and that she abandoned ivy#when thats really not what happens? if anything dove is the one advocating the mostfor ivy#she fights lion and jay on sending her as a spy. she tries to have her more involved in patrols and stuff#she tries to open up as much as she can. yknow without lion and jay breathing down her neck#and ivy not seeing that at first is fine bc again. shes a kid. but when they grow up?#after the dark forest and during avos? when theyre grown ass women? and ivy has seen for herself how dove suffered?#especially in the aftermath w her losing the respect of everyone#i have a much harder time sympathizing with her#like she never realizes how much dove really did for her and that doves treatment was not her fault she just keeps hating her#she keeps taking piss shots and keeps going out of her way to shit on her relationship w tiger#while pressuring her to be with a creep who clearly doesnt respect her#and its not that she had negative development its that thte erins are incapable of conflict resolution#like its not acknowledged. she just keeps treating her sister badly and is suddenly shocked when she wants to leave#bc. duh. her family and clan treat her like shit.#i think that dove doesnt talk to her anymore and is no contact even at gatherings andis much happier for it#echoed voice
