Feeling evil >:D I just remembered one of the most crucial things of Val's character. Minor and major spoilers for Wanderlust ahead, read at your own risk.
Wanderlust is divides in six arcs (Seven if you count the pilots as it's own arc - in which case it would be called the Awakening Arc). The first one spans s1 and s2, and is called the Nostalgia Arc. The second is about Val's own storyline and s3, and is called the New Begginings arc. The third one spans a continuation of Val's own storyline, and then s4 and s5, and is (for now) called Misfortune's Few Arc. Then things get......wonky. Due to Val's interference in the plot, the timeline gets all tossed up, and so the fourth arc spans s7, s11 (ice chapter) and a bit of Val's own storyline. The fifth arc, preemptively named the Corruption Arc, spans Cystallized, s11 (fire chapter) and Seabound (I think). The sixth and last arc of Wanderlust is called the Therapy Arc, and spans Val's own storyline, s6, Prime Empire and Master of the Mountain. The Oni Trilogy (as things are now) does not happen at all.
So. The funny thing is :]
An important aspect of Val's character is that she's a protector. She's the older sister of her family, and the mediator of her parents' fights, and the caretaker of her friendgroup. This does not change when she comes to Ninjago. Her apprach does, and she turns from being abbrassive and assertive in her care to be softer, motherly, gentle. But she is still a protector at heart, is who she was raised to be, is who she believes and wants to be.
And in each arc - all six/seven ones - Val has people she cares for more than life itself. And in each arc, she always loses someone. She fails to protect the people she loves time and time again. It is a constant. Despite her growth as a person, it never stops.
And each time she loses someone, the current arc ends :]
Val at her core only wants for the people she loves to be safe and happy, no matter if she suffers to make that so. But the universe takes all the effort she puts into protecting, and takes her loved ones away nevertheless. It breaks her. And I am delighting in the way her spirit shatters against the ground.
Anyways have you ever heard of kintsugi :D
