i get like physical chest pains when i think “oh i should go rewatch willow” and then remember that i cant 😭😭😭
For anyone looking to rewatch Willow, the official fan account @savewillow2022 has all the episodes available in English, Spanish, and French (and I believe other languages are coming soon?) on the official fan website

Willow month: foreshadowing: Jade being a Bone Reaver
So at the beginning we see Kit and Jade sparring and they wear these masks (which we don’t really see again - Kit’s never, and Jade’s very briefly). And while they’re both wearing them, they’re quite different in their design, with Jade’s being distinctly more skull-like. Rather like the bone reavers skull helmets

Oh also somebody made a post a little while ago pointing out that in the scene at Nockmaar where Jade is shown a vision of her family’s deaths, the fletching on the arrows looks suspiciously like Tir Asleen fletching such as we see in Kit’s quiver. Which suggests that either Jade remembers that detail and wasn’t seeing/ wasn’t wanting to see the significance, or Nockmaar was showing it to her deliberately. If anyone can find that post that would be amazing because I looked for ages and I cannot find it and it’s killing me so credit to whoever made it for pointing that out that is an awesome detail I never even noticed
“Jade’s a Bonereaver. I don’t know what that makes her now … Conflicted, I imagine.”
So I’m not sure if Elora’s comment counts as foreshadowing, but it’s what I feel like talking about sooooo I’m just gonna go head and do it
Conflicted is exactly the right word because this revelation puts Jade in a really awkward spot when it comes to her allegiances. Her newly rediscovered family, vs the love of her life. She’s a character who’s driven by duty, and for the first half of the season it is unwavering duty to the country and throne. She is the knight to Kit’s princess in every sense of the word (and a bit more). But the episode five rocks that to its very core. She was not benevolently adopted by Tir Asleen when her family tragically died, but was stolen. What does that mean, for her self identity? Who she perceives herself as? It changes everything. They start exploring this during the second half of the season, and I particularly love how at the edge of the world, when Jade is justifying wanting to go over after Kit she starts talking about “for Tir Asleen and Sorsha and-” and Willow interrupts with “Because you love her.” The themes of duty vs desire and service vs love are explored so well with Jade and I really hope
ifwhen we get a second season they’re explored further because we have really only scratched the surface of where this conflict could lead

Summary:
Angry blue eyes glared at Jade from beneath short dark locks that fell into her face. Sharp cheekbones, straight nose, and a strong jaw gave her an imperious air, and despite the fact that she was shorter than Jade – and tied to a tree – she still somehow gave the impression that she was looking down at her. This was even more impressive given the entire left side of her face was one massive bruise, and her eye was swollen almost completely shut.
Or: Bone Reaver Jade is tasked with escorting a prisoner to the Immemorial City for their new ally, the Crone.
