[sona x canon]

i am her biggest defender like actually. like she's FAR from a perfect character and i can't deny the narrative did shove her around into stuff she didn't need to be involved in, but UGHHH i love her so so much.

me explaining that vorona's attachment to ikebukuro and shizuo in particular stems from her backstory that was shown to us in the anime. she grew up completely neglected by her father due to his line of work and the only time she ever felt like she won his affection and approval was when she committed a murder. it's why so much of her character revolves around a growing dilemma with violence; she sees it as a solution. it's all she was ever recognised as being good for and that's why she intervened during the ketsu fight (yes i understand frustration towards this narrative decision as it would have been a lot more satisfying to see the feud between shizuo and izaya be resolved by themselves).

but shizuo became someone she very quickly grew to care about because she saw him as the epitome of human violence, yet he taught her that it wasn't necessary. unlike everyone she grew up with, he encouraged against and resented his own violent tendencies, and admired and respected vorona as a person WITHOUT her needing to prove herself in such a way. i feel like people overlook this reason and brush it off as vorona getting too attached too quickly for the sake of ship bait, but if you take a moment to actually care about her past and her character as a whole you'll start to understand that her attachment was actually kind of realistic. shizuo and tom were some of the first people she ever met who approved of her without her needing to fight or kill, and the broken child in her never had this.

but because she grew up seeing herself as a mere weapon it's still ingrained in her instincts to use violence as a solution, which is why she stabs izaya during the fight before anything else: she saw someone important to her about about to throw their whole life away and had to resolve it. and remember to her, violence = the absolute solution. yes you can't use her past and trauma as an excuse for such a brash action but so many people just refuse to understand why. why she did something so out of the blue. you might dislike how shoehorned it was in the finale, sure, but in terms of her character, doing such a thing because she wants to save someone she has grown to actually care about, is so important to me.

you can dislike her role from a narrative standpoint because to a degree i do as well, and even after reading all this sure you can still dislike her, but it does still suck a little that so many ppl just opt to just completely ignore her as an individual with her own struggles and character arc. she's a genuinely interesting character and i adore how she plays off of the rest of the cast she interacted with TwT

anyways again dislike whoever u want but i do rlly like talking about her bc she tends to be so overlooked which is such a shame ;w;

‘we need more badass female characters!!’ you guys couldn’t even handle vorona 🙄
