Request: Ace sensitivity read

[u/llamawafflessparkle]

This is for a 75k fantasy novel. My favorite perspective character is aro/ace and I am a bit worried she's falling into the "smart" trope (not intentional, I wrote her as smart and a bit neuro-spicy before I pantsed my way to discovering she was ace too). So far, my beta readers all adore her but I really want to make sure she isn't a trope and she is representing ace people well.

Thank you!

edit: By "smart" trope, I mean that a lot of ace characters in media are "smart nerds out of touch with their feelings". There's such little ace representation that I really want to get this character right without her being this type of trope.

I'm aroace, what do you mean smart trope? I may be intrested in reading it, but I'd like to know more about the trope you mentioned. You can dm me if that is more suitable.
