Lately, I've been starting to think about Feferi, she doesn't do much near the end, but I like her.

WHY I LIKE FEFERI

-I just like her personality; she's an enthusiastic outgoing girl with a love for fish puns, however despite being sweet she doesn't take the people around her seriously, that's her biggest flaw and it could of been her arc.
-Awesome design, legit the best looking troll
-I like the role she plays - the princess/heiress of a planet that is now long gone
-She convinced the horrerterrors to make the dream bubbles, her connection with them is cool
-She's related to one of the main villains, HIC, which could of been a cool thing to explore

I like everything about Fef, I find her char undearing, unfortunatly,,, she is wasted potential

PROBLEMS
Feferi doesn't do anything after she dies, which sucks, because she really should of.
Feferi was the one who convinced the horrerterrors to make the dream bubbles. We only get to see the Ghost!Tavros and Ghost!Vriska stuff because of the dream bubbles, and by extenstion, Feferi's actions.
She made the dream bubbles, but we never see her do anything IN the dream bubbles! The dream bubbles become Aradia's specialty, and I love Aradia, but couldn't they like, share dream bubble duties together?
Feferi fuses with nepeta to become fefeta and fefeta does nothing but be cute. Then fefeta explores, and Feferi does nothing but stand in the background.
Nepeta? She becomes Davepeta.
Eridan? Becomes erisol and apologizes for what he does wrong.
Equius? Becomes arquis and participates in the final fight.
Tavros? Becomes independant, has an arc.
Vtiska? Gets revived.
Feferi is the 6th dead troll, and yet she gets absolutely nothing.

WHAT I WOULD DO TO MAKE FEFERI MORE RELEVENT

I don't think she needs to be revived, Tavros proved that a charater doesnt need to be alive to be relevent. They just need screentime. Feferi can just develop whilst being a ghost in the dreambubbles. Here's what I'd make her do.


1] Overcoming her greatest flaw.
As I mentionned earlier, Feferis' flaw is that she doesn't take others seriously; she cares about Eridan but pretty much discards him when she doesn't need to be his moirail anymore [Eridan IS a bad person yes but Feferi isn't without faults either - however I do think she was justified in killing him], and though she cares about the lower bloods too, she doesn't want to imrpove the caste system, she wants to just 'improve' it. She thinks coddling them would make things better for the low bloods, but she's still removing their agency.
Feferi should learn to take the people around her more seriously - she might not be violent but her actions can still harm people.


2] Dynamic with Vriska.

Vriska wants to be leader and is generally very bossy. Feferi was meant to be Alternia's next queen however she wanted to take a more coddlesome approach as opposed to Vriska who forces others [Tavros' to do more extrme things, thinking it'd help them.

These conflicting POVs could cause a strain in there relationship before their deaths; Vriska tries to make a plan, ends up coming off as bossy. Feferi interjects and treats the plan a bit like a joke and thinks Vriska should be more relaxed. Vriska gets annoyed and argumentative, yet Fef doesn't take it to heart.
However as ghosts, the two could try to start getting along more. Vriska still wants to be relevent, whilst Feferi believes they should all accept their death and have fun. Yet over the course of time Feferi starts becoming more sympathetic towards Vriska and wonders if she's approaching things the wrong way. Instead of coddling her, Feferi starts trying to understand her more.
Thus, Feferi starts to take Vriska seriously, and hopefully soon the others as well.
Also I think they both can compare about their lusii and feelings about being a leader, idk.

3] Dynamic with Eridan.

Her most important dynamic. Like I said before, Eridan is not a good person, but I will specifically focus on how he was as a moirail during this. We don't see much of their moirailleigence, but Feferi expresses how she often had to take care of him, often prying him to open up. Considering how Eridan always talking about genociding land-dwellers and is generally self-destructive, keeping him calm would of been stressful of course.
However Feferi still did essentially use Eridan to help feed her lusus and immiediatly dumped him when the game began [although their break up was inevitable. She wanted to change the class system whilst he desperatly tried to fit into it].

Point is, they both were flawed individuals during this relationship. Feferi managed to move on while Eridan couldn't [Fef mentionned Eridan trying to get her to autispice between him and Sol and Eridan did try to get Fef to join him to join Jack]. Fef tried to kill Eridan for almost killing Sollux, whilst Eridan killed her in self defense. Both were flawed.

As ghosts, they don't need to reconcile and become friends again, but I think they needed closure from eachother. They both admit their faults and agree that their dynamic was never healthy. Eridan finally moves on from her, and Feferi's arc of taking others more seriously continues to develop. She achknowledges the hurt she caused and tries to change from it.


4] Sollux

I just wanna see more about their relationship - dude correct me if I'm wrong but did Sollux ever comment on her death?


5] Karkat

He's a mutant from their planet, she's the princess and descendant of someone who vowed to kill them all.
He's the 'angry' one and she's the 'happy' one.
He becomes leader despite his blood, and she abandons the title despite her caste.

Both are different, and yet they seem to get along well, Karkat genuinely cared about Feferi, not being able to speak to her past self after CCC died. I think we should of seen them interact more.


6] HIC
Just let her do something anything with HIC please

7] Jane Crocker

Both are HIC's heirs, just from different planets. I think itd be cool if they talk about their roles as heiresses and Fef could of taught Jane about what it is to be a life player.

There are so many things that could have been done with Feferi after death, it’s very unfortunate that nothing happened with her. SolFef is one of the best ships, as well. Sollux did comment on her death when he was talking to Terezi after going blind, I believe, but I could be wrong. He also interacts with her when they are both sprites, but not very much.

This is some straight up delirious biznasty, Dawg!!

I miss her, she was neat. <3

Kanya hears "ERROR LOGGED OUT" & looks at Rose who just SAYS "NO 'FORGOT PASSWORD' OPTION" while frowning.

Jane and Feferi are my favorite hypothetical duo to think about tbh. I can imagine Feferi trying to assist Jane in a well-meaning way and then ending up just enabling her. Feferi could have replaced Gamzee...clown religion replaced by Fuchsia royalty-worship...Tavvy getting a troll mom who doesn't take him any more serious than she would a cuttlefish...just imagine the possibilities (//-*)
