Are vox and velvette trying to get charlie become the fourth member of the vees?, because having thr daughter of lucifer join you is a powerful move.
so-so. I don't want to say too much, because it's established... fairly early on (as in the first Vox P.O.V.) in what I have for the long fic so far, but you are correct in that it's a power move.
It just has less to do with Charlie herself (at first) because even before her failed interview with Katie Killjoy, she's considered something of a... non-issue? Weakling? Not necessarily a laughingstock (that doesn't happen until after the failed interview) but pretty much everyone knows she's a bit of a pushover who spends more time with her head in the clouds than her feet on the ground.
Charlie isn't held in particularly high regard by most sinners, let alone overlords, is what I'm trying to get at. Sure she's probably powerful given who her father is, but she's so adverse to using/demonstrating that power that she might as well be on the same level (or even below) them.
The Vees are not immune to this thinking. Vox just knows something that makes buddying up with the princess worth it, and the other two just kinda go... okay, sure. Might as well. They tend to trust Vox's savvy so long as Alastor isn't involved (which, in this AU, he is not - the Vees got there first).
