>>102209979People shit on DotU Allura because of the Lotor bit and fainting. But she was only 16 and orphaned at a young age living in a dilapidated castle, and she was trying her best to help her people. You could see she was not a good pilot, but she practiced often and learned to keep up. She even began to train in combat for experience.
She had flaws but she learned from them not just on her own, but with the help of others. The “Sven wouldn’t have done that!” comment really did get to her versus no one saying anything to VLD Allura who learns everything on her own.
Regarding Lotor, it wasn’t her fault he had mommy issues and rebuked him every time. She had several instances where she slapped his rapey fingers off her.
I mean, hell, at least that Allura had moments with Hunk. When did VLD Allura EVER speak to him in conversation outside of battle?
DotU Allura was the product of her time but she’s not completely irredeemable damsel shit.
