if there's a female character you wrongly think is weak, i probably post about her
Portrayed by: Amita Suman Book | Show: Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, and Netflix’s Shadow and Bone
Inej Ghafa is one of the most exceptional characters of our time—a character I hope people will talk about for years to come because everything that she represents is reflective of what complexity looks like in the face of a strong woman robbed of so much, yet still, a beacon of hope in spite of it all.
Inej has had too much taken from her, stripped of agency from age fourteen, and sold to a brothel called the Menagerie. In both the book and the TV series, Inej’s history is primarily the same, except in the TV show Inej has a brother she was separated from, as well as her mother and father. (Whether they’re alive, we’ll hopefully learn someday.) Characters like Inej, especially in the Grishaverse, often lose parts of their humanity through their pain, but Inej fights through the darkness even when life forces her to do terrible things.
Shadow and Bone is such a fucking mess, the writing is questionable, the plot is insane, the performances are great, the fan service is all over the place… I love it. Ten more seasons, please.
