When you can't decide what your character is, make notes with facts about him

So y'know how mohg was charmed by Marika 2.0? As was ansbach? What if the reason that bloody fingers attack other tarnished is that Miquella wishes to eliminate those who would become the Lord(s) of Marika by having them be offed by other Tarnished? Like, it makes sense when you think about it. Leda and her allies attack us before the Promised Consort battle for a similar reason: A tarnished who would become the lord of the Erdtree is directly challenging miquella's ascension to godhood. So it stands to reason that the Bloody fingers- knights of Mohg both before and after he was charmed- are doing the same. I also think that, similar to Ansbach, the Bloody Finger NPCs are likely charmed. This is why Okina helps us fight Radahn, but attacks us in the mountaintops of the giants (accomplishing something that would aid miquella's ascension vs preventing something that would aid ours, or at least trying) as well as changing the meaning behind Yura's description of Eleanora as a Proud Knight before she changed. She was likely a Proud pureblood knight, and the change occured when Mohg (and presumably the encountered Bloody finger NPCs) were charmed by miquella to become what is essentially his 'pest control'. That also provides a reason why, despite Yura having cut off Eleanora's finger that served as her main invasion catalyst, she still attacks us within that church.
