>>31509803>the way she grew and matured and persevered over the course of the series really spoke to me. We got lots of introspection and emotional reflection from her too. It all made her feel more genuine, complex, and human to me than most other characters on this show are.Yeah, that sums it up well. She really felt like a character I could root for, and not just a character whom I was watching compete.
>>31509855I felt like Serena's character overall was less about watching the main girl do Tripokalons than it was about watching the main girl develop into a more confident, assertive, mature, independent person.
The Tripokalons themselves were kinda crappy in terms of their mechanics, but they worked fine as a narrative device to develop her character and such, I'd say.
