Nora is my fave. I love her.

So, yeah. Nora is really a very typical archetype of a character used in many types of stories–but the character is almost always male.
Kylo Ren, Loki, Shigaraki Tomura, the Zoldyck siblings, etc. An abused
child who just wants to be loved and needs someone to show her love, and
lashes out at others in a desperate attempt to get it because she
doesn’t understand love because no one has ever shown it to her. She
views love as being used and using others, as being useful, and would do
anything for that. I mean, that’s our introduction to her: begging Yato to use her.

Whether or not Fujisaki is plotting something with
her (probably is because he’s the literal worst), Yukine showing her kindness in response to her lashing out
is, well, paralleling other love stories in the series, and
gives her something to think about at the very least. Hopefully,
anyways. Will it be so easy for her to go back to him if/when he does offer, if someone else is giving her what she really wants regardless of her being useful?

Like, Nora tells us here what she really wants, and I don’t think she’s lying about this; the stripping is a not so subtle symbol of her baring not just her body:

She wants to be wanted. She wants to be loved by someone. And despite being a nora no one has ever given her that. Fujisaki came the closest in terms of long-term reliability but in the end once she became a risk he was like “nah bye.”

Anyways. I do think her relationship with Yukine regardless of where it goes is of clearly important. I mean, again, their first meeting was this:

Nora’s been comparing herself to Yukine since the beginning, always insisting she was more worthwhile, but that was never the point.

Nora may possess resolve and experience Yukine doesn’t have, but Yukine possesses strength in another sense that Nora doesn’t have, and she knows this and has for awhile.

She knows, to some extent, that she can trust him, and while she calls him a fool for it it might also be something she should conisder learning from. Yukine has the opportunity to be like Sakura and later Hiyori were to Yato: show Nora she’s capable of change.

The whole discourse on Nora sounds like good victim/bad
victim and it’s really about policing abuse survivor’s responses to
abuse. Not that Nora’s response is okay because it isn’t–she’s done bad things–but it’s
certainly not unrealistic and it doesn’t make her less worthy of saving
than Yato was. She’s forever stuck as a child mentally, but like,
characters stuck like that can change as we’ve seen with Yukine. And if
people are going to hold her accountable for her actions then that
implies they think she can fully understand her actions enough to be
held accountable–and if that’s true, she can also change. Whether or not she does change, she absolutely can.
