I’m kind of feel bad and proud of zelena.
She grew up with this power she knew nothing about. It all came natural to her yet she didn’t know where is came from, what it was or how to use it.
Her father called her wicked and used the word as an insult. To make her feel wrong and smaller than him. He drunkenly tells her she was adopted and is just cruel to her. Blames her for his ways and orders her around.
But she broke free from that. She had the courage and strength to walk away. To find something better. Because she knew she deserved better than a drunk father who treated her as a maid and talked down to her. Emotionally and verbally abused her.
She turned his insult around and owned it. No longer let the word wicked make her feel small. Instead she used it to empower her.
That alone is why zelena is amazing and badass.
