(Anonymous) 2016-01-22 08:41 am (UTC)(link)This actually couldn't be further from the truth. I thought Nuala's character design was gorgeous actually, I had a purely aesthetic crush on both her and her brother.
But the romance in this movie was fucked. First off, Nuada and Nuala were played by both actors as having a very, very obvious incestuous subtext to their relationship, which is why it felt really damn weird to me when Nuala suddenly just gained an insta-crush on Abe because he was nice to her for like a minute, meanwhile it's implied that Nuala would have totally banged her brother if only he hadn't gone rogue.
Second, Nuala's character personality was...less than pleasing. She was basically the most painfully cardboard cut-out out of the "Damsel In Distress" trope you could imagine. It was kind of painful to watch, especially because her kick-ass design could have hinted at a much stronger character.
Third, spoiler alert, she's dead at the end of the movie. I technically don't even have to justify making an OC for a character that is unattached as of the end of the movie, but I still wanted to note that the lackluster romance is one of the reasons I was originally inspired to write the OC, even if the OC has become more to me than that. Also, the OC looks, and acts nothing like me, and is a creature of the night, a demonic deity of sorts. We're not talking blonde, blue eyed Mary Sue who can do no wrong territory, I've been pretty harsh on myself about a character that is probably never going to see the light of day simply because I wanted to do the original justice.
