the special kind of sexualized hell Corona must have lived through as a ‘healthy necromancer’

Because necromancers are an ideal. Adept/soldier seems to be a popular pairing. They are the height of power in society and because their culture romanticizes death the summoners and wielders of it are of course further romanticized.

There is however, the fact that necromancy is a deeply unhealthy. Adepts are incredibly skinny and weak. Even if you aren’t actively dying like the seventh it’s still akin to living with chronic illness à la Victorian era. I think it really signifies something when Gideon mentions mags where necromancers are drawn with uncharacteristic cleavage.

Fertility has always been a sign of physical attractiveness in society and a society like the nine planets where fertility is notoriously complicated would probably have feelings about it. This clashes against necromancy with there being these two opposing things that society wants.

Corona however is both. Can you imagine her going through puberty and realizing how unnecromantic she looks but people still like it. In fact people are actually being really really weird about it. It’s a joke about how pretty Corona is except it doesn’t feel like a joke. Not to her.
