one of my fave parts of fig’s character is just how much she cares about everyone. like obviously she’s the main gilear defender because he’s one of her dad’s but putting that aside there’s so many moments that are easy to miss where fig just. cares.
it’s fig that gets gorgug into drumming. she sees someone so afraid of who they are supposed to be, just like her, and she reaches out to help him. she didn’t have to and she didn’t have to care enough to do so, especially with the new badass person she’s trying to be but she just fundamentally cares so much.
when adaine gets taken by the elves it’s fig that is immediately the most worried. she stresses how she’s her best friend, how they have to go help her asap, she spends the whole fight trying to make sure the elves don’t take her.
when kristen dies in the forest, fig is one of the first to react. she jumps through a wall for her. when brennan asks for their fears emily says fig is just so scared about the people around her getting hurt. she blames herself for not being able to save kristen even when she couldn’t do anything. she scrys on her even when she knows she should be searching for the centre of the forest. this is the same time when she’s so worried about ayda as well and is terrified of losing her. she just cares about her friends so much. plus earlier when kristen was getting attacked by kalina, fig literally carries her out of the forest to get her out of there alive.
with gilear, she stays with him even when it would be more comfortable at her mom’s, she worries about him not eating, she asks him to come on the trip because she loves him. with gothalax she hates herself for trapping him and is desperate to save him for most of the season. with sandralynn she doesn’t even consider not keeping her thing with garthy private because it’s her moms issue not anyone else’s. she has a complicated relationship with her parents but she never stops showing how much she cares about all of them
