I'm so fucking happy that Murray exists. She's so fucking cool. She's the professor that her students trust (and value enough to bring back adventure presents for). Everyone is bringing things for her consideration and her judgement. It feels like Keyleth, Beau, and Laudna were all characters who had to fight to be respected and listened to throughout their arcs, whereas Murray is our brains just as Hal is our host. Murray is the face of hope for a better future, not just for her students, but for king Gus as well. Murray feels so fucking steady and solid at the centre of the team, people are getting things for her even when she's miles away. She's the contact. She's the hope. Murray is the antithesis of Cassandra of Troy to me, she is not the unbelieved prophet princess running desperately at the Trojan horse with a torch, she is a commoner with her fingers on the strings of fate and a wealth of people who listen when she foresees what is to come
