#Sure henrietta had a canon redemption arc but its my personal belief that she continued to Become Worse On Purpose after that

I recently finished playing both earthbound and mother 3 and could not help but amass a List

✅mean-spirited kid who no one likes and who hates everyone else in turn, has a chaotic life and upbringing

✅greedy above all else

✅vulnerable to making deals and alliances with powerful figures/entities in a personal quest for power, causing problems for everyone constantly

✅these alliances also come at a genuinely horrific personal cost for them but they either have little insight into this or just don’t care

✅long-standing rivalry with a pure-hearted protagonist which is the closest thing to a friendship they have (and may also be a gay thing)

✅somehow manages to amass teams of henchmen every time they try some new bullshit (also specifically this comes with Arab orientalism in both cases??)

✅keeps going through new insane body horror transformations throughout the narrative

So my question is like. Was this on purpose
