Elletear Lou Nebulis IX and Itachi Uchiha: A contrast and how different individuals respond to pain.
Okay, I wanna talk about these two characters, their pain, and how they handle it. Because they're mirrors to each other for me. At how they handle their pain, their past, and what they did to the world that discards them.
Let's start with Elletear Lou Nebulis IX, the perfect big sister, the untouchable beauty, and the main villain of the story.
Elletear Lou Nebulis IX is the firstborn daughter of Millavair Lou Nebulis VII The Queen and the oldest princess out of the five. She is the oldest siter of Alice and Sisbell. She is a woman of great beauty, with enormous breasts, tall, and generous body, not just the breasts. Not just that, she is also intelligent, can cook, and could paint. She, more than any of her sisters, know about the culture of the Sovereignty. Not to mention she is also highly intelligent, a shrewd political operator and could charm anyone. On paper, this makes her the perfect candidate for next in line to be queen, helped by the fact that she is the oldest.
There is only one problem. One, big problem: Her Weak Astral Power. You see, Elletear has the astral spirit of "Voice". It allows her to copy someone else's voice that she heard before. That's it. And because of that, something she couldn't control. The Sovereignty wrote her off. She doesn't have a chance to show her hard work, she doesn't get the chance to show that she is fit to be a queen despite her weak astral energy, she doesn't get to show anything. And so, she becomes slowly but surely bitter, resenting her family, this nation, this lie of a Paradise for Witches.
And she also found someone else sharing that bitterness. Johaim Leo Armadel. Before he became a Saint Disciple. Elletear is the first one who acknowledges, who respects his efforts, his hard work. And so, they fell in love, with Elletear being vulnerable, admitting her fear that she would think that Johaim would hate her because she's a monster, even saying that she fears that she would forget her plan and would prefer to be in his arms. This shows that despite her bitterness, she is still capable of love, even with her family, despite the complicated relationship, despite how twisted it is. It shows clearly with Johaim. And that she, at the end of the day, is Human.
Elletear responds to pain outward. She rages against the world that wrote her off, this world that only worships strength. Not only that, she also has someone besides her who shares that rage, that pain, and unleash it to the world that rejects them both. Despite it, she, more than anything, wants to be loved. That was why she clings to Johaim so tightly.
And now, Itachi Uchiha.
Ah, Itachi Uchiha. What could be said about him what hasn't already been said? A global Icon? The most tragic individual in the Narutoverse? One of the most iconic characters as well? With two amazing Voice Actors? The man who could've been so much more, if the world is at peace and doesn't demand his sacrifice?
Of course, we already know who Itach is, but for those who don't, here is the short summary.
Itachi Uchiha was born to Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, on June 9th, and is the brother of Sasuke Uchiha. He is a prodigy, both in brains and brawns. He graduates early, his taijutsu skills are that of a master, despite not often using it, and he already mastered fire release when he was 7. He is also a man who loved peace and despises war due to his experience with it. His brain is also too advanced, as he already asked what is the meaning of life at 5, and actually attempted to off himself by jumping of a cliff at that same age.
This shows that Itachi suffers as well. But not due to being written off. He suffers due to knowing too much, loving too much, and obeying too much. Itachi is loyal to the hidden leaf. And that loyalty costs him his life, his happiness, his family, his name, and his honor. He doesn't hesitate to discard all of it in the name of Peace, when he commited his greatest sin: Genocide of The Uchiha Clan. All of them, except for Sasuke. He also suffers from a terminal illness. Something clearly affecting his lung and health. Yet despite it, he remains one of the most dangerous shinobis ever.
Despite this, he is not without his flaws. He is too sure of himself sometimes, in the sense that he thinks that only he could bear this burden, when it was easier to console people like Kakashi, who would have helped him without hesitation. He also has pride in the uchiha name, saying to Sasuke that he should've judged by another Uchiha and that the torture wasn't necessary. This shows a complexity of Itachi. He is selfless, yet also selfish. However, he is also not blind to his mistakes. When he was reanimated, he admits to Naruto and Sasuke, during his separate interactions, that he shouldnt've done this alone. He should've been honest with Sasuke from the beginning, treating him as an equal from the very start. If he does so, perhaps he would not have to kill all of their kin.
And as a final goodbye to Sasuke, he gave him one final truth: It is alright if Sasuke never forgave him. Because no matter Sasuke become, Itachi will always love him.
Itachi is a man who responds to pain Inward. He suffers and tries to see what his suffering experienced could be used of. How could his suffering be used to prevent more suffering, so that people couldn't experience what he experience? So that the future could be at peace, and there are no more like him. Or at least, less man like him.
Not just that, Itachi and Elletear have the things that the others want. Itachi has power that Elletear pursued. He is one of the top characters in the narutoverse, being skilled in genjutsu and ninjutsu. Not to mention he has spirit weapons as well. Elletear, on the other hand, has political standing that Itachi wants and needs. She is a Princess, despite being written off, she is still politically important and can do things no other nobles could do, have connections, everything. Itachi wants and needs this because he thinks that it could've saved The Uchiha Clan. However, Itachi accepts what has happened and tries to do his best with it. Elletear, on the other hand, doesn't, and tries to escape it.
