#but also bc bullying isn't covered under Infernal law so good luck talking to Asmodeus or a lawyer about it :)

I 100% do not mean to downplay Orianna as an evil being; if it fits within her personal code of ethics and or Infernal law, she will take the souls of tiny children, whole cities, and anyone else she can get her claws into. She readily misguides people into letting her experiment on them, and doesn't care if they change their mind bc you can bet your ass she's got that shit in ironclad writing. And frankly, she's only helping the party bc being in a group of people makes her seem more like people, which makes it easier for her to seek out information on the tadpole, and bc more hands make the work much lighter. She wholly does not care about any of the companions unless they happen to grow on her over time. And make no mistake, it's fully either a coincidence, a plan ( or one of the others making her be nice for once bc I default to decisions being a group thing ), or the rare alignment with her own morals and or agendas that her actions ever help anyone else around the party.

But that said.... One of my favourite of her better traits is that she is doggedly loyal once she does actually bond to someone. It takes the right amount of evidence of their betrayal to ever break her loyalty, and yes, that actually does generally exclude shifts in personality or morals over time, barring extremes on the side of things she can't personally stomach.

Plus also she will bully a mf over looking at you wrong, bc one of her biggest musical aesthetics is technically a song about R e gina Ge or ge, and that says more than enough about her temperament. ( This, if you were curious. )
