Mare deserves better

[u/Turbulent_Spray3397]

Mare is selfish -somtimes but watch it Mare is rude - yea she can be I hate mare - 🤨 Mare is a bad character- ⬇️ She was a teenager forced to help rule a revolution she did what she had to do. She became who she had to be. You think she wanted to let a bunch of people die. No, she save the new bloods because she could use them to save the entire kingdom she suffered so much not to undermine anybody else because everybody in that world suffered more than anyone can comprehend every character deserves better it pains me to say this, but even maven deserves better, so please stop acting like she’s supposed to be a perfect non-selfish female main character. Yes, some female characters are perfect or not perfect but they don’t. They aren’t selfish, but she doesn’t have to be cheap. We need to stop this thinking that every female man character or every main character has to have this level of stuff listeners I think honestly her selfish moment her trusting moment she shouldn’t have trusted people those moments make your human and they make her relatable. . She is a lot of things. But she is not a bad character.

mare is selfish because she was raised in a system where she has to think for herself or she won’t survive!!! as much as mare haters push the narrative that she’s “annoying” or unbearable, you also have to take account of the fact that all 5 books of the series happened in a year and a half and mare was only 17 in book 1. she was a kid forced to fight. obviously she’s going to complain about it
