I think that our identities are mostly fluid but it’s our personality that changes more. One of the main characters in the book, Nimona, is a shapeshifter and being a shapeshifter is her identity. On pg. 190, Nimona is captured by the Director and then put in a tank. Nimona is unable to break the glass but keeps shape shifting to see if it’s possible. At the end of pg. 181 Goldenloin tells Blackheart that the joust where he lost his arm wasn’t an accident. Blackheart later tells Goldenloin that it is unforgivable. On pg. 244 Blackheart is seen carrying Goldenloin to the hospital, because he was injured. Even though what Goldenloin did was unforgivable, Blackheart is a good person, so he helped him.
