Hello, friends! I know many of us are of the mindset that Elain will most likely not become a warrior when we do get her story and her POV. I've heard various theories regarding spying, emissary work, etc. and I'm curious if there are other ideas out there! I came up with some functions/roles/trades that Elain could potentially take on in the upcoming books, and I thought it'd be interesting to imagine her there. If you have other ideas, pop them in the comments?

Re-Sharing my favorite aspects about Elain's character that are all ship independent/neutral:

* Her resilient kindness

* Her bravery

* Her efforts to set boundaries and assert her own autonomy against being coddled

* Her sense of humor

* Her ability to charm and endear herself to others

* Her potential character arc, powerful abilities, Seer capabilities and how those could manifest

* Her desire to see the world and have fun with Feyre

Things I find intriguing, even if not inherently positive or things that could be considered flaws (as no character is perfect):

* Her prior inactivity/perceived selfishness in the cabin (while also operating with a grain of salt because Feyre's first-person POV by nature is biased)

* Her conflict avoidance

* Her coping strategies for her trauma post-catatonic state

* Her overall goals for the future (does she want to open a business? Volunteer more? Have a family? Take up academics? etc.)

* Her dynamic with Nesta and how that might dissolve, evolve, etc. going forward

* Her prior socialite hobbies and what a return to them might look like, if she wants to do that

* How she views herself internally
