Navani in The Way of Kings-Oathbringer: oh I'm not really a scholar, I'm not that smart. I just have money. Goodness, don't make me lead anyone, that would be awful! I'm a horrible leader honestly. I like group projects and order, sure, but I'm better as a side character, don't worry about me <3 (she says this while doodling amazing concepts and schematics, organizing and presiding over meetings, and convincing entire nations to join their cause)
The Plot™ of Rhythm of War: We locked Navani in a room for a few weeks and she coordinated the rescue of the whole giant tower and found a way to kill gods.
#honestly Stormlight really well portrays how a horrible and abusive figure like Gavilar can absolutely ruin your self perception#because we can all see how amazing and competent Navani is. we all know she's incredible. even Raboniel figured it out quickly#she just couldn't accept it in herself for a long time because she'd been consistently beaten down#so like. fuck gavilar always#abusive people will always find someone who is the best and try to convince them they're worthless#imposter syndrome is a bitch especially when it's reinforced by your closest people#also like slay navani you're the coolest girlboss queen. never speak badly about my friend (you) again#in general Navani's skill with people is awesome#I just think she's neat#navani kholin#oathbringer#words of radiance#the way of kings#rhythm of war#rhythm of war spoilers#stormlight spoilers
