I wonder if it's due to her iron deficiency that was mentioned in the first book and never makes a reappearance hence forth. 'The last thing I remembered was the roar of air past my ears and the world crashing to black.' I was unconscious before I hit the ground' Nora simply goes, 'I don't want to fight,' then whines when Patch goes to fight the bad guy alone.

All so she could contribute to upcoming conflicts and not have to rely on others to save her ass all the time. Um, have you ever thought about bettering yourself, Nora? In The Iron Queen, Meghan asked Ash to train her in swordplay and Puck to teach her how to use Summer magic, even though it made her physically ill. He chose me, not you, so obviously I'm the better person, because every woman's self-worth comes from a man! Then she has the audacity to be infuriated when Daria turns out to be a bombshell and possesses more brains in her pinky nail than Nora has in her entire body. It's so reassuring that the fate of the world is resting on this girl's shoulders. I wondered if that translated to curvy and gorgeous with the brains of an astrophysicist. 'Stringy unwashed hair, doughy around the middle, unibrow.' 'What does she look like?' And now I'd stooped from insecure to superficial.

This is also a guy who erased his girlfriend's memories without first asking Nora if, I don't know, she might want to keep them. Patch: Well, your Honor, they were wearing really short skirts and I just couldn't help myself.

Judge: Defense, how do you plead to these cases of sexual assault and rape? I can imagine court proceedings going like this: That's like asking a kid not to glance at the candy counter.” Getting back together with Patch or Jev or whatever the hell his name is. Goes back to the Nephilim hideout alone after nearly getting caught last time. She'd suspect the toaster of doing her in if it burned her toast.Īfter coming home from the hospital, she goes back to said graveyard alone to look for 'answers'.īreaking into a Nephilim hideout with no prior planning and with a dude she has no memory of. Now normally, this a very sound reaction and fits in with Stranger Danger, but this is Nora we're talking about. Upon waking up in a graveyard with no memory of how she got there or what had transpired, Nora kicks the shin of the first person who tries to help her and blunders away, possibly increasing the chances of running into her captors.
