Mandragora really is something.
She is a deeply unpleasant person, in a very pure way. No evil charisma, no grand vision, no alluring smirk, no “sexy” obsessive personality trait. Just the sort of person who you really really don’t want to be around. Liable to set off a bar fight.
And that’s without considering the summary executions.
She is, in some ways, a knight; loyal to her Leader, devoting everything to her Leader, always thinking about furthering the Leader’s cause, desiring that she be useful to her Leader.
By Harmonie’s account, she isn’t very useful at all. Turns out tact and diplomacy are important skills for a movement-builder. Who knew.
She once said to a Sarkaz Infected that they had it good because of the natural Arts mastery that comes with their oripathy, whereas being a victim of normal racial discrimination doesn’t give you superpowers. This would be my citation for starting bar fights if they weren’t already fighting at the time.
Every day is so hard for her, she’s fighting battles like no-one else is, giving it her all, and she does it all in a strapless dress and matching choker. Never before have I seen a petite catgirl so toxic.
One viable tactic against Mandragora is to bait her into collapsing pillars on top of herself.
I want her to survive, I really do. I want to lift her out of whatever hole she’s dug herself into, so I can see what hole she finds next time. I want to see how much she can take. I want to see how much effort she can put in and still have it amount to nothing. I want to see if she’ll ever be a remotely tolerable person.
