↳ S02E09 | The Dirt Under Your Nails ARCANE (2021-2024)

Dead or not, Ambessa Medarda got her happy ending. She came to Piltover avenge her son, yes, to get what she needed to wreak bloody vengeance on those who would target her own. But in her mind, she also got the greatest confirmation she’d succeeded as a parent.

One of Ambessa’s fatal flaws is that she will only accept how she believes the world should work, but she does not believe in nepotism. She’s a fascinating cocktail of superiority and genuine meritocracy. She will burn the world for her family, but only if they (in her eyes) deserve it. “I will give you the world, child, if you prove you can take it.”

She made no secret that she views her children’s lack of militaristic ruthlessness as a disappointment. But one aspect of Ambessa I haven’t seen discussed as much is her guilt. She feels like she’s failed as a parent. By allowing her children to remain foxes in this world, she believes she’s thrown them to the wolves. And in her mind, Kino died for her failure.

She will do anything to save Mel from the same fate (or, in less charitable interpretations, to confirm her own worldview). And in that, she succeeded. She leaves this world knowing her daughter has become strong enough to stand against any threat the world turns her way. And, more than that, Mel understands Ambessa’s worldview, has taken (some of it) for her own, and she will carry it as her mother’s merciless protection for the rest of her life. You are the wolf. For a woman like Ambessa Medarda, with all her love and all her ego, her ruthlessness and her brilliance, this is the greatest legacy she could leave behind.
