"I'm not sure about this," Proxima said as she and Zarya approached Mrs. Sparklebottom's sanctuary.

"She lied to both of us," Zarya said. "She needs to make it right."

They reached Lateensia. "Can I help you?" Lateensia asked.

"Tell Mrs. Sparklebottom that Zarya and Proxima are here. We need to talk to her now."

"She's-" Lateensia was about to say. She looked up, and saw the intense, angry expression in Zarya's eyes. "I'm not dealing with this." She called Mrs. Sparklebottom.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Sparkebottom came. She froze when she saw Proxima and Zarya. "I suppose you came for answers," she said.

"You lied about our identities," Zarya said.

"I had to keep your identity a secret," Mrs. Sparklebottom said.

"I want to know who my parents are," Proxima said.

"Their names are Darvin and Miri Nightshade," Mrs. Sparklebottom said. "I don't know much about them, but they are scientists working with the Astromancers."

"Why did they abandon me here?" Proxima asked, tears forming in her eyes.

"I wish I could tell you," Miss Sparklebottom said. "They didn't say."

"Thank you," Proxima said.

"If I discover anything else to help you find them, I'll let you know," Mrs. Sparklebottom said. "Though remember, family isn't just who shares your DNA."

Proxima looked at Zarya, noticing how ready she was to stand up for Proxima. She knew Arkayna would use any resources she could to find the parents, and that Nova Terron calls often to see how Proxima's doing.

The Vexicons are supposed to be the evil counterparts to the Mysticons. However, Eartha wasn't truly evil, and even turned good. While I previously considered it a flaw, what if it was because the Vexicons weren't created properly?

We know that Proxima created the Vexicons, and that Proxima only had half of Necrafa's mask. Because of this, it's possible the mask's power was weaker, affecting the spell used to make the Vexicons.

Another reason to explain why the Vexicons weren't made correctly is Proxima's feelings. I initially wondered if Proxima had no hard feelings towards Em, and that's why Eartha was good. Arkayna and Zarya are because of the twin situation, and I figured Proxima found Piper loud and chaotic. However, then I remembered Em was the one who gave Proxima her scar. So while it's possible Proxima forgave her for it, I don't see Proxima having no issue with Em, but Proxima being annoyed at Piper causing Willa to be evil. The only way I could see this would be if Proxima thought that Em was pressured to go against the Astromancers.

One problem with the theory is how it affects the Vexicons. It feels weird that only one of them isn't evil if the spell that created all of them is flawed. So while this idea is interesting, it's also flawed.
