What's your role in the tragic play? -X'mimiteh Lhim

misunderstood villain

prepare for an onslaught of both the most dehumanizing and hateful takes, and flood of thirst comments. you are chronically misunderstood. whether or not you're actually evil is debatable. you may be acting out for revenge, to defend someone you love, or even just to protect yourself. you're a pretty jaded person. you don't trust or even really like most people. maybe you did at one point. but that part of you is gone, and you don't go a single day without grieving it. you think a lot about what your life could have been. you're stuck in the past. you're angry and maybe you don't even want to be, but this is the only way you can see to survive. you're open, but less in a trusting way and more like a wound. you don't like to let people see you, but the hurt spills out of you before you can stop it. you're impulsive, even as you try hard to plan and prepare. maybe someday your side of the story will finally be heard. until then, you can convince yourself that being hated is safer anyway.

I did not expect this. Though Mimi was never intended to be a hero, I would rather put her in the role of an anti-hero. She is grumpy, she can be mean and rude - but she has a good heart (she tries very much to hide). Maybe it is just the word "villain" that does not feel right here for me, because as difficult a character she can be, she is not supposed to be a straight up villain. But that is probably making her exactly that - a "misunderstood villain"? Being in a situation, where people do not understand why she acts the way she acts, why she is rude and mean and insulting and feisty. All just to cover up all the hurt and guilt she feels. She is jaded to some point, but still just feels "too much" - and that is her main problem. She cannot deal with that. And that's why she is angry. All the time. The more I think about it, the more it actually might be really spot on? I am confused!
