I will begin this review by stating that I am not a fan of Star Wars; I only watched The Mandalorian for Grogu. Most of what I know about this series I learned from my husband.

Despite this, I really enjoyed Kyra; she is a very intelligent and strong female character, which she demonstrated later in the chapter I read. She fights alongside men and is unafraid of anything life throws at her.

She is also very self-aware and honest with herself. Despite having only read one chapter, I can tell that this character has a lot of courage to accomplish whatever she wants.

If I am not mistaken, I noticed between the lines that she has some maternal instinct (referring to The Child). The author managed to create a strong woman who is also sensible.

The remaining prizes will be awarded after both the main awards and mini-awards have concluded.

Aera struck me as a distinct and complex character. Despite her blindness, she is still kind and skilled at her hobby, painting.

Knowing how cruel people can be, I am sure she has been bullied numerous times because she is blind. Nonetheless, she has not lost herself; she remains funny, cute, friendly, and humble.

The most important aspect is that, despite her blindness, she sees people as they truly are, which people who do not have her condition cannot do (or, more accurately, do not want to see).

The remaining prizes will be awarded after both the main awards and mini-awards have concluded.

Edith appeals to me primarily because she has always appeared to be a strong female character.

It is surprising that she was not as affected by the fact that her parents were no longer present - it could be that she was still a child and was not fully aware of what had happened to them, but that is less likely given her intelligence from a young age.

It was nice to see her still being as wild as she was as a child.

It was also interesting to see her fighting for others, and I get the impression that she was influenced indirectly by what the young painter did with those people years ago.

I liked her internal struggles when she realized the man in front of her was actually the young painter from years ago.
