Context: Latula Pyrope is the Knight of Mind and Terezi Pyrope’s dancestor. Not much is known about her, apart from what is seen in Openbound.
“Latula’s significance arises from her “coolness”, her skater girl personality that stirs in Terezi feelings of inadequacy that eventually result in her having her vision restored by Aranea. The description given by Aranea on Latula makes her almost seem like a parody. Her disability is her lack of smell, and through her eyes and ears she can experience a different world of smell. She illustrates how anyone can overcome their disabilities through hard work. Yet one must ask if a lack of smell is really a disability. In addition to her disability, there is also the question of Latula’s skater girl personality being an act. Lastly, Latula and Kankri have unrequited feelings for each other, which despite several thousand years, neither have gathered up the nerve to confess to the other (though Kankri was very, very close by making it really bloody obvious).”
