So we have Principal Barry Dort, who manipulates students and gives out ugly stickers.
And then we had Larissa Weems.
Larissa Weems who drove her students to therapy.
Larissa Weems who would have surely taught Enid how to drive herself if need be.
Larissa Weems who would have welcomed Bianca's mother at Nevermore, had Bianca dared to ask for help.
Larissa Weems who must have felt so used sometimes being explicitly and implicitly asked to use her powers —since that's all anybody asks of shapeshifters at Nevermore, apparently—, but who did it anyway to protect her school.
Larissa Weems who must have been the only model for some young shapeshifters —which are evidently under-represented Outcasts— who now have nobody like them to look up to.
Larissa who knew what being a Nevermore student is like and could probably talk about its so-called "former glory" better than anyone else.
Larissa Weems who didn't partake in positive discrimination and didn't want to exacerbate her students' differences, but rather to help them feel safe in a world that was not meant for them while encouraging them to develop their abilities.
Larissa Weems who worked her arse off and never put anybody's reputation on the line but her own when trying to find sufficient funding for her school.
Larissa Weems who convinces the board to accept a student with homicidal ideation instead of using that same board as an excuse to let the most vulnerable students go to fend for themselves amongst the Normies.
Larissa Weems who put her own pain aside just to see one more Outcast be taught in a safe space and finally make friends.
Larissa Weems who ensured Xavier and Eugene could have their own spaces to explore their abilities.
Larissa Weems who died for Nevermore.
Larissa Weems who didn't put GODDAMN PURPLE ALL OVER THE GODDAMN WALLS.
But yeah, whatever. I'm fine.
