Another Grisha, a magical practitioner who can manipulate specific types of matter, calls Alina a half-breed. A cartographer assumes Alina was born in Shu Han. Each episode includes some race-based insult or attack. The orphaned Alina is therefore both of her parents’ identities and neither, and looked down on for it. The only things we know about Alina’s parents are that they are dead and of specific fantasy races. So the Queen asks again: “Then what are you?” Not Ravkan, apparently, as declared by one of the heads of state, but not Shu because of her looks and lack of fluency in Shu-and certainly not enough, a feeling I wish wasn’t so familiar. The Queen turns to her translator, still not addressing Alina directly, and asks them to tell Alina good morning, which forces Alina to admit she doesn’t speak Shu- a moment that reminded me of all the times I have had to awkwardly admit I don’t speak Cantonese or Mandarin.
