#'Cause on one hand if this is true then that'd say that Kris wants to be the hero of the story and even wants to have leadership/control

Another Random Deltarune Thought

What if Susie's dark world self is reflective of her ideal self?

A bit of a strange way to start it, but basically, Noelle saw that Susie had a tail and that it was wagging in the dark world, while Susie is very much adamant that she doesn't have a tail in the real world. What if that is indeed true?

Perhaps as a more interesting way to put it: What if the presence of a tail in the dark work and an absence of it in the light world is due to her feeling highly embarrassed that she doesn't have a tail in the light world/really wants a tail an 'embarrassing' amount?

If we then look at a few pieces of text in the dark world, we've got Susie's infamous "I always figured I'd grow one of these" when trying to equip Devilstail, as well as the end of Ch. 2's dark world segment, when Susie remarks specifically on being able to weird an axe, battle and use magic, and not have anyone tell her what to do. I also went on about the thought that the dark worlds are formed from not just the environments they correspond to in the light world but also the desires of the lightners that are in it, which would establish precedence.

Another good point to look at would be Noelle and Berdly, or rather, their dark world designs. Berdly looks like a "gamer nerd"s favourite design, looking "cool" and "smart", with a summonable halberd affectionately named "Halbird". He even comments "Why am I so cool?", really bridging the personality to the design. Noelle, alternatively, has a mage-like (cleric-like?) appearance, with a graceful white robe that speaks to mind of snow and peace. She can heal, like she says she wish she could in the hospital scene later that chapter, and is also capable of defending herself with ice (though one would have to argue what part of her personality corresponds to this). They seem to reflect some part of who they are and who they wish they could be/look like/do.

Wrapping it up, it makes me wonder if lightner designs are in-fact based on their own desires 'cause of the implications of it and the way it tells us of a character's story and perceptions. When considering the alternatives, though...

In either case, I do think at least Susie's dark world design is based on what she wants 'cause that honestly just makes the whole tail debacle both make sense and is really funny~

Tl;dr Susie having a tail in dark world and no tail in light world could be explained by her dark world design being based on what she wants
