Some women just want to watch the world burn

[lliira]

Besides being immersed in a Bioware game as usual (finished Inquisition for the first time tonight), I've also been dealing with emotions returning. It's like the weather: I have no idea what I'm going to feel next, but at least I'm starting to feel some complex emotions and desires again. Tonight, I'm in the mood for strong, villainous women who rip the world apart. Ones with motivations other than "waah my boyfriend cheated on me" or "she's prettier than me" or "I can't have babies" or whateverthefuck. Someone whose throne was stolen from her and she resorts to horrible things to get it back, for instance. Who is not good, who wants vengeance and power, and who does not get softened through motherhood or the application of penii or anything else.

Sounds a bit like Bodhi and Melissan from Baldur's Gate - whose motivations both boil down to greed, power, and in Bodhi's case sadism. Although I will say that Melissan lacks motherhood, the application of penii, or anything else that might give her character any kind of history. Or Hexxat from the Extended Edition, an unapologetically evil vampire who happens to be gay.
