For the character ask thing, Naomi Turner (EoA)-- 1, 12, 13, 17, 25
1. Why do you like or dislike this character?
Naomi is one of the characters who has the more stable characterization in the whole show and has a logical and nice development. I love that she doesn't fall into the bad cases of "strong woman" / "girl who has a temper" (who most of the time is just bitchy) and is strong in so many ways, plus she is sassy in a good way and is fun to follow!
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
While Naomi didn't know how to dance for "a classy ball" before "My Fair Naomi", she was always a good dancer. Naomi has a great sense of rhythm and very good stamina. Her favourite dances would be Halling and Irish dance.
13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?
I just think it fits her and it could be her signature!
17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favourite that you're fine with?
Hmm... outside of my 3 favourite Naomi pairings, I think I'd be okay with most of them - except with Alonso and Mateo... but if I have to name some, I'd say: Naomi/Valentina, Naomi/Marisa and Naomi/Rebecca, cute pairings! :D
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
A bit judgemental and sassy sailor girl.
Now: one of the best girls in the show, the brain of the main group, someone who came far and grew up so much and deserves the best!!
The duality of my two most recent royal/peasant OTPs.
I mean, how a similar concept can be executed so differently based on the environment the show created.
Elena of Avalor is more on the "wholesome" side, so some of the biggest bumps in the road are Naomi's insecurites as "just a girl from the port". But with Elena being THE ruler of her kingdom (after her parents got PG murdered), she had full control over putting Naomi on the grand council and showing her how she's capable of more and worthy of being by her side (as chancelor once Elena officially becomes queen).
Comparing that to Stolas and Blitz... Boy, where do I even begin. Despite Stolas being high in the hierarchy, there are still SO MANY others above him, so he doesn't nearly have the amount of control as Blitz thinks he has. And despite Stolas trying so hard to show he cares, Blitz's insecurties are self destructive, so aren't as easily fixed by someone just believing in you.
But yeah, if these two shows and the OTPs I got out of it aren't prime examples of how my taste in fiction is so different yet the same, I dunno what will.
Can we talk about how Naomi sings a whole song about wanting to be “someone special” and then in Norberg Peace Prize, Princess Chloe tells Gabe that he should share the Norberg Lights with “someone special” and he shares them with Naomi?!
Yes, I realize that "Something Special" is Naomi's "I want" song and about how she wants to prove herself (setting up her great character arc), so she didn't mean it like that, but…it’s the exact same wording.
She is “someone special” to him. I’m gonna cry 😭😭💖💖
Some time ago I had a dream there was a zombie infection going on in Avalor, so I doodled the characters as they appeared in it.
Been making some more pieces from this AU, but I'm not sure this is something anyone here would be actually interested in 😅 Pls let me know if y'all want more!
Finding Elenaomi in the Elena of Avalor tag has been getting more common again lately and I couldn't be happier!!
The show ended more than 3.5 years ago (wtf is time), but I never left, they're still one of my biggest OTPs, and it just feels so amazing to not always be alone on this ship!
