What would I love to read about Elain? Standing up for herself AND being taken seriously (we see glimpses of it). Her not being treated as just a pretty thing, just like her mother did, or as something that can be broken easily. Everyone treats her that way very gently and softly, nothing new. That doesn't challenge the character it leaves it in a comfortable situation.

Just a reminder Elain was happy that Nesta called her out and started treating her like she does with everyone else, rather than as her ultimate protector. Loved reading about the dynamic change between Nesta and Elain in ACOSF, breaking the treatment Nesta had towards Elain.

I think that's why many people forget about Elain as a character who can do more. She has been treated as something fragile when she isn't. The need to protect her and, by that, not letting the character evolve. I mean, she does, but not entirely. She steps out of her comfort zone, or wants to, but then it feels like the rest of them push her back or even dismiss her, and what is worse, behind her back.

But at the same time, what can I say? I really enjoy characters who are underestimated by those they are surrounded by.
