A place where I can be without remorse...

You know, I've read many a discussion about MGR and occasionally polls pop up that aim to rank the bosses from least evil to most evil. And somehow Mistral frequently ends up in some kind of "misunderstood" or "lied to" category.

I have a couple strong opinions on that view.

I'll start this off with a weird thing – the dwarf Gekko.

Little recon focused UGs that follow Mistral everywhere. Here are some fun facts about them: - they vocalize in high-pitched tone that can be interpreted as childish and cute - when the player gets hit by Mistral, the Dwarf Gekko will either applaud Mistral or laugh at Raiden - in the section where you get to play as one you can applaud the other dwarf Gekko and they'll dance with you - chopping off the upper arm of a Dwarf Gekko in blade mode will result in it briefly pausing in confusion as it searches for its missing limb - Courtney thinks they're cute and compares them to little mice

- there are cute figurines of them made as merch - a lot of fanart features them in adorable chibi forms - they react to pain by wailing and screaming

So, they're little critters, right? They're cute, make cute noises, they display surprising degree of emotion through both sounds and gestures for a military UG. Like little monkeys, or mice, as Courtney put it.

Now how does Mistral treat them? Her pre-bossfight cutscene: Comforts the tripod that Raiden hurt, even holds it's hand tenderly.

To only moments later tear off it's arms and crush it as it wiggles around and squeks in pain.

Comforts something -> hurts it, keep this dynamic in mind for later.

And throughout the fight she tosses them around, obviously killing them in the process. Courtney comments on that too:

You could say that it's all intimidation tactics to get under Raiden's skin, except we get to see Mistral in her downtime in Bladewolf DLC. Boy do I have a lot of details to highlight there.

The very first thing Bladewolf sees as he comes out of VR training

Yeah, that's a freshly killed tripod just laying there, fresh enough to be smoking and throwing sparks still. Remember that "NPC gekkos will dance with you" detail? Yeah, those things are seemingly programmed to be social, and she killed and displays the remains of one of their kin to her "chair". The gekkos composing her chair are constantly whining and moaning as they try to hold up her evidently immense weight. And I mean constantly, all the time she sits in that thing, they shake and make noises. That thing is NOT comfortable or practical on account of said noises, so the reason she does this instead of opting for just a chair is because she loves hurting things. I'll dare to say that she displays more moments of pointless cruelty on screen than Sundowner does, and it's an achievement.

Look at the poor thing on the left hugging itself and rolling around looking traumatized. It jumps up in fear the moment Mistral turns around, too.

She's also not just hurting them, she frequently displays mock "affection" towards them. She does it at two different points to the chair gekkos alone:

Here and here. Let's not forget holding the hand of the Gekko in the pre-fight cutscene.

It can be argued that she does it to Bladewolf in a similar manner, calling him endearing pet names while constantly mixing them with mockery, insults and threats. The whole "shake" scene follows it to an extent as well, Wolf is being tortured while being forced to engage in what should be a friendly and affectionate gesture.

Also note all the gekkos cheering her on and acting like they adore her as it transpires.

So, what we get from all these scenes is that Mistral enjoys hurting cute things she has under her control while constantly flip-flopping between giving them affection and torturing them. Besides that she's casually abusive to every single UG we see her interact with, whether physically or verbally.

Give affection to something that trusts you and depends on you and then hurt it, rinse repeat.

If you know what exactly this resembles, I'm really sorry, if you don't – I'd rather not shatter your hope in humanity. That'd be very dark. Instead I'll just go for slightly less dark.

Look, I'm not implying that this is the pattern of behavior that indicates somebody who enjoys torturing small animals...

I'm telling you in plain text that it's exactly what Mistral displays in overwhelming majority of her cutscenes. She's an unrepentant sadist, one that will take advantage of even allies, and she won't be quick about it either.

And it's not like she's lashing out due to some kind of trigger relating to her past, this crap is done just because she's enjoying it.

Desperado really is the one place she can be without remorse, surrounded by two equally cruel partners whose ideologies only encourage her to indulge in her horrible desires shamelessly and openly. One could even say that all three of them are broken to the point that they're all eternally strangers to any kind of normalcy.

It's not like she's fighting for Armstrong's ideals of mega freedom anyway. Out of the horse's mouth:

Belonging, purpose. That's all she wants, really. Armstrong gave her a fucked up little family she can relate to and some goal to share with them. What that goal is about isn't really all that important.

Cheats

Lure resistance.png

The Stenographer can only be lured for 2 rounds.

CourtRecord Banner.png

The Stenographer will forbid Toons from using a certain level from all Gag Tracks, changing it every single round. These go up from levels six to eight. Toons who use the forbidden levels will be hit with a gavel and will instantly lose 50 Laff. This cheat cannot miss, and will continue to work as long as Stenographer is in battle (even in the same round as she is defeated).

CourtSanction Banner.png

Every 3 rounds, the least dangerous Toons will quickly be dealt 25 damage and be given the "Sanctioned" effect. Sanctioned Toons will have 50% less Gag effectiveness for two rounds. This is visualized by beige-colored downward arrows. This cheat cannot miss.

CourtCosts Banner.png

At the end of Round 2, the Stenographer will use a Synergy-like group attack that deals 24 damage. She will continue to use this cheat every 3 rounds after, adding 4 more damage per use. It will reach its maximum output at 255 damage. This cheat will not miss.

Calculating Costs - On the round before any Court Costs can activate, the Stenographer will announce how much damage that the cheat will do. This damage calculation will only factor in the damage boost from Desperation (seen below). If queued, this cheat will not show up but Court Costs will still activate the following round.

Desperation banner.png

This cheat will trigger once the Stenographer is the last Manager standing on her side. It will increase the Stenographer's Lure Resistance by 1 round and make her deal 40% more damage.

Manager Synergy Cheats

The Litigation Team has unique benefits where different pairing of managers can completely alter how some cheats and its bonuses function.

Stenographer Synergy Cheats:

When paired with the Litigator:

The Stenographer's Court Sanction cheat reduces Toon's Gag effectiveness by 75% from its normal 50% effectiveness reduction.

The Litigator's Snap cheat makes Toons 40% more vulnerable. This does not apply to the Snap cheat that is triggered when he is soaked.

When paired with the Case Manager:

The Stenographer can use Court Sanction on Toons that get off the Legal Bindings, dealing 25 damage and reducing Gag effectiveness by 25%.

When paired with the Scapegoat:

While the Scapegoat is Enraged (including the same round when he Shields Up), the Stenographer will ban two Gag levels instead of one.
