I feel like that sums up so much of what fandom ultimately seems to want from female characters, especially female characters of colour. Turn up, say or do something cool, be emotionally supportive to the male lead, get nothing in return because she's a Strong Independent Woman Who Who Don't Need No Emotional Support, then go away again. Emotional and moral complexity and a variety of relationships, healthy or unhealthy? That's for white men.

Bonus points if you can turn them into the Team Mom! And/or the Matchmaker!
