So what happened to Trudy?

[Helicoradian]

Something that I've been thinking about...

So we all know that when Grace died at the tree of souls that her spirit went into Eywa, But what about Trudy? Even though she was on the wrong side (at the beginning) she did make the right choices when it counted. Such as not participating in the destruction of Home Tree, and helping to break Grace, Jake, and Norm out of that jail cell. I think that those decisions showed that her heart was always in the right place, and that deep down she appreciates Pandora for what it was kinda like Grace.

So the question is, is Trudy now with Eywa and Grace? She did die fighting for Pandora so I would like to think yes. When I think about it, Trudy showing up may have been the turning point for Eywa. And at that point the fight got a little more even

I don't think so. Grace was connected to the Tree of Souls when she died. Trudy just exploded in midair.

Possibly, it depends. I'd say that as her Samson was shot down, it's possible that a connection managed to reach her, but unlikely.
Personally, I think that the way the memories of the Na'vi survive in Eywa is more of a backup when they connect to a Tree Of Voices, rather than being transferred at the moment of death.

Sadly I think that her mind was lost, there was no time for transfer . Sad, very sad only, she was a great personality...

She died in an explosion. All that remains of her is ash.

Or you could be like me who revels in fanfiction, meaning that she is dead, alive, and somewhere in between. All at the same time.

Well, I don't want to get all religious on you guys, 'cause I ain't that way. But if you believe in a spiritual plane for humans of some sort that our consciousness goes to when we die, Eywa and the Tree of Souls is perhaps only one way to connect to that plane. The internet analogy works here. Humans have an ISP that they connect through, and Eywa would be another ISP that's applicable to Pandora. The Eywa ISP also has the capability of soul transfer, something the humans of 150 years from now aren't really all that far away from if they can accomplish that magic thingie that Cameron used to "drive" avatars. Sure, all this gets into the dicey conversation of is there or is there not a God, an afterlife, angels, mental telepathy, spirit transfer, ghosts, goblins and for all I know the boogey man. But it's worth thinking about, and it extends the concept of Eywa not into godhood, but into more of a universal spiritual connection. This is surely rampant non-canon speculation talking here, not assertion. An idea. Food for thought on this happy Wednesday morning.

And it lets our favorite Samson pilot have a meetup with Grace on the other side, perhaps. I liked Trudy. She was incredibly hot. "Thank you for flying Air Pandora." Yowzah!
