Galadriel, radiant and fierce
I've been thinking a lot on characterization for Osha and Qimir and the simplest way I could put it is that Osha's personality is informed by the situation, while Qimir's personality informs the situation.
In other words, how Osha is acting at any point in time is likely because of what's currently happening to her. From the first episode, she's thrown into the plot and being the protagonist, it's her job to stay in it. We do get glimpses of when she can just "be." For example, chatting with Fillik or Jecki, or interacting with Pip. But especially from episode 5 onward, she always has to be on the defensive.
Whereas with Qimir, he spends almost the entirety of the season in control. He's able to conceal his identity from Mae, the Jedi, pretty much determine the outcome of Khofar, etc. Granted, without his backstory, his "situation" is more unclear than Osha's. Yet same as we see Osha go from situation to situation throughout the season, we see Qimir go from personality to personality. First the goofy companion of Mae, to the Stranger, to a more human version of that, to someone softer and supportive with Osha - while still having hints of his previous selves (chattiness and general instigating.) How he acts is a factor in any given outcome.
From there, their characterization speaks to their roles and motivations within the story. For Qimir, he wants loyalty. This is clear in his reaction to Mae breaking their deal. Also in the way he discusses his relationship to the Jedi. He was "thrown away." We know he values deep relationships. So the likely conclusion? He feels he was loyal to the Jedi (loyal being a personality trait) and that they betrayed him. So now he's seeking someone who will be loyal to him, as he's more than ready to offer loyalty in return. Aka the power of two.
As for Osha, it's trickier to pick just one thing she wants, but if I had to it would be security. When she's a child, she wants to become a Jedi. When she fails, she's essentially starting her life over for the second time. Then, *insert season 1*, she's left to start over for a third time after learning the truth about Master Sol as well as finding and losing Mae.
By saying "I want to be trained," she's taking control of her situation and making her own choice. She's had little control over her entire life because of the fact she was a child when everything with the Jedi began. She wants control. And what does control give you? Security.
There's little security to be found in a life where you lose your family, become a Jedi only to lose that too, and then learn your entire life was more or less a lie. It's a lack of stability and will give her trust issues.
Notably, this is where Osha and Qimir can balance each other very well. When Osha chooses to be trained, she's choosing Qimir. That's the loyalty he's looking for. She's not all the way there yet (this is a decision made for herself - not him), but she'll get there as she grows to trust and love him.
Then for Osha, you can't find anything more secure than a man who's ready to shape his entire life around you and what you want. She gets to be trained and gains someone she can trust. And in feeling secure with Qimir, she'll be able to work through everything else she's experienced and feel secure in herself too - opening the possibility to want something new. Perhaps... power so that she can right the wrongs with Mae.

—Although her light was blinding, he could not tear his eyes away, nor did he wish to.
what i really like about anora is you spend the first long scene watching her do her customer service voice and then we see her continue to use her customer service voice with ivan whenever she's with him, then we see her talk shit to igor the whole time. like she really tears that guy apart but he likes her for that and not the charade of "oh i'll do whatever u want"
So I saw Anora two days ago and can't get this epilogue out of my head so just imagine this, directly following the end of the movie....
So Igor holds Anora in the car until she stops crying
then finally she gets up and then gets out of the car with a flippant joke about him zipping his dick back in "pervert"
then she takes a few steps back towards the house and then turns back and goes "well? Are you coming?"
So he goes from scrambling to zip up his pants to scrambling out of the car and following her inside
and then they go into the living room and her sister is there w her boyfriend sitting on the couch and shes just like "hey there's some lasagna in the kitchen"
so he follows anora into the kitchen (he'd follow her anywhere) and they get lasagna and they go to join her sister and her bf in the living room to watch the movie and they're cuddled on one side of the 3 seater and anora sits against the other arms so there's space in between but it'd be tight so he sits in the arm chair next to the couch
and they eat their food and are watching and he's super aware of her but definitely NOT looking at her (okay but only from the corner of his eye and she DEFINITELY cannot tell)
at some point she lets out a frustrated sigh and stands up and comes to sit in his lap and cuddles into him
eventually she falls asleep there, with her head curled under his chin, and she stays like that for a long time
he considers asking her sister for a throw blanket but then they get up and go into one of the two bedrooms down the hall
He waits a while longer, just holding her. Shes safe. And she's in his arms.
If you had asked him what he expected from being 30 three days ago, it definitely would not be this. But this, this is so much better.
He stands up and takes her to her room and sets her down in her bed and he moves her hair out of her face and just gazes at her for a second
He moves to leave but she groggily reaches out her arm and says "stay"
so he kicks off his shoes, climbs into bed, and just holds her while they sleep.
and she actually sleeps through the night instead of getting up to work (at some point he woke up to piss and he gently pushed her to ask and she was not pleased about the disruption because she "needs some fuckin rest after the last 48hours")
they wake up the next day at like noon (early for her, late for him)
So they wake up and just look at each other for a moment and then he asks "may I kiss you?" And she says "but I have morning breath" and he says "may I kiss you?" And she says "you have morning breath" and he says "may I kiss you?" And she nods, not breaking eye contact but clearly a little bashful at the vulnerability
and theyre kissing and then they're making out and at some point he pulls away and moves to just hold her and shes like "do you...not want to?"
And he goes "I want to, we just don't have to. I'm happy like this." and he cuddles her closer
and she smiles to herself and hides he face into his chest for a moment
but then she moves to straddle him and goes "what if I want to?" And he goes "whatever you want" in the tone that says 'you can have whatever you want and we never have to do anything you don't want' and seeing the sentiment echoed in his eyes has her kissing him with all she's worth (which a lot in his estimation)
and then theyre getting all hot and heavy and she takes off his shirt and moves to take off his pants
when she realizes he's still wearing his jeans so of course she gives him shit for that (but he wasn't going to climb into her bed in his underwear without her go ahead so he just takes her teasing)
and they laugh together as they keep making out and shedding clothes and then she moves to touch him (like she did in the car, but this time it was about him)
He stops her and he asks if he can do something
and she says sure
so he flips them so she's on her back (she knew he was strong, he threw her around a whole bunch not two days ago, but it was different to have him move her like that....it did it for her honestly)
he moves to go eat her out and she starts to stammer that he doesn't need to do that and he says "what if I want to"
like she said before
and then he goes at it for a nice long time
And he makes her cum
like HARD
and so shes like "I finished," meaning to say 'okay cool now im taken care of so over to fucking so you can get off' (that's just how sex works, right) and hes like "who said i am?"
And then keeps at it, making her orgasm a few more times before he even lets her touch his dick
(she can't even recall the last time a guy she was with got her off)
so she's like on cloud nine when she's finally like "stop stop"
he pulls back IMMEDIATELY and asks if she's okay and if he did something wrong
she says no, she's just over sensitive and then next time she cums she would really like if he was inside her
so then he smiles and moves up her body, kissing her along the way, to get into position
and he kisses her (she loves the taste of herself on him) and then asks if she has a condom
she says she does "but....also....we don't need to use one of you don't want to"
hes very confused
so she gets nervous and starts to ramble about how she always ALWAYS uses protection w clients and she gets tested all the time and knows shes clean (to which he says "me too") and she has an iud but its also totally cool if he wants one because she has been w a lot of partners (bc she assumes he doesn't bc of a judgement for her profession)
meanwhile hes just confused bc it didnt even ocurr to him she may want that
so he asks what she wants and she says no condom (which is kinda the biggest display of trust and intimacy she has bc she is METICULOUS about protection) (even w Ivan who, she was seeing exclusively for what is a long time in her book, she always made him use a condom)
so then they have sex
and he hits a smooth slow wave of a rhythm that really works for her
and he uses one hand to support himself over her and his other to rub her clit
and he just keeps looking at her
and the eye contact and the intimacy are too much and she cums
She cums a lot
and only then does he finally start to lose his rhythm until he's moaning into her neck as he cums
And then he rolls off her and she must be the sappiest bitch in Brooklyn because she misses having him inside her
And then he is just lying next to her breathing heavily for a moment before he quickly gets up and puts on his pants and walks out
and she feels like she must have whiplash bc they were just so intimate (more intimate than she's been with a guy in.... god she doesn't want to think of how long it's been like this)
and he's just gone
like every other guy
maybe this was all just a good fuck to him
Maybe he saw the opportunity to fuck the sex worker, knew it'd be a good time, and now he was done
she's working herself up, even though a whispering voice in the back of her mind kept saying he couldn't have gone far without shoes....or a shirt....or his phone and car keya....
by the time he comes back and shes convinced herself that he was using her and she shouldn't have let him in or trusted him or slept in his arms all night
So she starts to yell at him, which she certainly has a talent for
At first he's confused but he slowly approaches her and sits on the edge of the bed
and he looks down at his hand and then at her, asking for permission
and only then she realizes he came back with a glass of water and a warm damp towel - to clean her up, she realizes as he gently and methodically starts to clean her thighs
she sips at the cool water he handed her as she watches him slowly tend to her
then he sets the towel and glass down (after taking a sip himself... somehow his swallow was a turn on? What is happening to her?)
and he takes is jeans back off and climbs back into the bed and pulls the covers up over them and pulls her to his chest until they both fall back to asleep.
Later he drives her to work at the strip club, kisses her goodbye, and says he'll pick her up later.
As he watches her walk into HQ he can't help but think how much his grandmother is going to love her.

I understand that a platform like college really contributed to the development of the main characters. I understand how little we still know about Elias and Chis, how much more new things we have to discover in this amazing story. and I definitely like that new good characters have been added to the main lore! however, at this point in time, I have so damn few scenes involving Elias and Chise, developing THEIR relationships with each other! /lol, I don't know the manga, I only watched the anime/ tell me, don't you miss the dynamics between these characters? Should we expect any development of their pairing at all? /sorry ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) if I was messy, English is not my native language/
I think the author herself can answer that question better than me.

I think Chise might do this at some point
The thing about Galadriel and Halbrand is that they were both broken people starving for something (revenge, redemption? Who cares?).
And then they met and they started feeding on each other and if felt complicated but good.
And then everything went to hell
and now they're doomed to spend the rest of their lives starving (for each other)
insp.
So you're telling me they met at sea
She told him "bind yourself to me" at sea
They survived together at sea
(Why does this raft look like a crown??)
They lead an army together across the sea
He asks her to rule with him at sea
He shows an image of them ruling together in the reflection of the sea
And then you're telling me the whole damn season that the sea is always right??
