i know not a lot of people know about the extended canon, but its very interesting how many people decide to ignore senna exists and the role she canonically plays in londo's story. its very interesting to see londopilled mollariheads who know everything about him and have all this meta decidedly ignore senna, even though she is one of his most important relationships post-canon. she canonically stays with londo until a few hours before his death which is about 15 years. he takes her in. she becomes his ward. she's important to him.

play with canon however you want i know i do. but its just strange how people can make all this meta about random centauri side characters from the books and stuff (me included!!!!!) and then ignore senna refa. is it because she's refa's daughter? is it because of her relationship with londo? is it because she canonically ends up with vir, and people dont like it? idk man i dont really care about peoples personal opinions like that i just think its kind of interesting how often senna gets ignored in post-canon/fanon convos about londo. senna is such an interesting character-even just her existing is interesting, what she represents TO londo (turning over a new leaf, taking responsibility for his actions, letting children, letting Women, specifically, choose) and yet people just do nothing with her. im not gonna demand people do more with her as she is an extended canon character and stuff but i just. yeah. idk just my hot take for the day

i also must say i have not read the books themselves but i know enough about them and peter david is Not the greatest at writing women and senna has some dicy moments in the novels (she gets hit by a man trying to marry her, to which londo steps in and beats that guys ass when he asks senna what she wants btw!!!) and i know some people may be uncomfy with the books portrayal of her but to ignore her completely? it just makes me sad! thats so much londo lore youre missing out on!

#like is the idea of londo getting to kind of raise this girl to go against the misogynistic culture of centpri interesting?#fostering a new age for centauri prime and starting with a little girl that HE left orphaned?#letting her choose who she wants to marry and marrying for love?#raising her into a capable and strong young woman who is not bound by the men around her? not bound by her family's name?#the idea that her and vir together would have made londo so happy bc they are happy and got to choose?#senna didnt want to go with londo initially and he respecfed that until her foster family was like GIRL THATS THE EMPEROR #and she didnt trust him intially! and she stood her ground against him #but they grew to respect each other #the idea that londo could have just one loyal friend by his side while hes suffering under the drakh #bc vir is gone gkar is gone timov comes back FOR SENNA!!!!!!!#like????? im so emotional about all of this!!#also i just remembered the fact that aparently in the trilogy senna is why londo doesnt fucking kill himself like bye
