...jfc I just realized sth on Eir Stegalkin in GW2. Bc of her confident decision what backfired on all bc she had so much confidence in her team she ignored the "Maybe we should rest" comments and blames herself for everything she's acting highkey depressed and just hides it on main.

It's moreso showing on how she focuses on her work ALOT, undervalues her legacy and claims that her best years are over & only helps the Norn village leader in action if it's insisted that much. When she helps, she's willing to do whatever it takes to atone for her sins and undo her mistake on being as confident as Norn ppl seem to be (bc they DID survive the Dragon Corruption and found a new land area bc of their persistence and Animal Spirit Gods and are raised to strive for greatness and show off).

Sometimes she has stupid spontaneous ideas for helping ppl and when they backfire she spirals fr and acts really mf reckless during the said trips, even risking her own life while she's at it. She doesn't want to die bc the dragons need to die first, but she IS doing things what neglect her life survivability and doing serious missions on her own bc of her own rashness & not wanting to burden others.

Eir is both stunning and relatable on this in the core level of "willing to do XYZ if it's needed, even when it comes with a cost on her own health". Jfc she's an icon
