Title: Lacked Passion Rating: PG Word Count: 29 Summary: Shinko doubts her fitness to be queen. Notes: Written for mistrali’s prompt “Lack.” Thanks to mistrali for the inspiration. Lacked Passion When her mother-in-law captured the attention of an entire room just by entering, Shinko would wonder if she lacked the passion and charisma to rule as Queen Thayet did.

I’d never thought about Shinko comparing herself to Thayet, or nay of the more extroverted members of Jon’s family. I love this glimpse into different types of femininity and personality. Shinko seems so assured, but that’s also because she and her husband are such a good match.

mistrali, as always, thank you so much for reading and commenting! It was interesting for me to write about Shinko comparing herself to Thayet and other more obviously charismatic, extroverted types of people. As an introvert, I can sort of relate to Shinko's doubts about lacking that passion and charisma to lead, but I also believe that Shinko has some great leadership qualities in terms of her grace and her cleverness and her overall personality. I think she shines more as a leader and a person than she realizes when those niggling doubts strike (which is probably just a not so fun part of being human) and you are right that she and her husband are such a good match. At least in my head canon, Shinko and Roald just fit together so perfectly and love each other in the sweetest way. They are one of my major OTPs.
