Reminder of how nurturing s1 teen shauna is
Jackie is more innocent, yet her character feels less empathetic and a bit standoffish. Shauna is a much more flawed character and has done horrible things, yet the way she reacts in situations concerning others is much more empathetic. I hate when people mischaracterise her as lacking empathy and being a psychopath. Someone can have done shitty things and still be empathetic and nurturing. Two things can be true at the same time. She is not a one dimensional character. Shauna knows how to care for people in an instinctual way, without thought, with a deep sense of empathy. Her first instinct in a crisis is to be immediately fly to the person’s side and find some way to help them, caring for them. She literally flies to help them, Jackie is frozen and doesn’t know how to react. It doesn’t make her a bad person at all, but she lacks that instinctual nurturing quality that Shauna has. I feel that Jackie doesn’t know how to emotionally comfort someone in a deep way and Shauna finds it more easy to do so which is why she gets along with the team better.
