probably my favorite thing about mohan’s character is that she is SO empathetic but she is still a deeply data driven person. so frequently the bleeding heart character is stereotyped as more intuitive-emotional than logical-analytical, and their worldview is therefore implied to be a consequence of naivety—or, failing that, wishful thinking. for a character to be so explicitly compassionate and also explicitly logical pushes that in the other direction and says yeah, empathy is actually a logical choice. compassion is not blind but backed by empirical data. “feelers” are not to “optimists” as “thinkers” are not to “cynics”.
samira mohan the character you are…
