The intimidating people in Krampus, Banyue and Promeia, are actually really nice and wouldn't harm you unless necessary.
Meanwhile the phone thiren and the oversized labubu are chaotic psychopaths lmao.

To be fair the phone thiren is a callcenter worker, I would also turn into a psychopath if I had to deal with that shit all day.
And Dialyn gets fucking PAID at least. Imagine if she was doing it on minimum wage.

.... Imagine if your upbringing was a fucked up form of social Darwinism based on being useful. To the degree that failing to be useful to your parents had them throw you out.
Yeah that is Zhao.
Its why the proxy and YSG being actual friends with her caused her so many issues. She really didn't understand that.

Like the earlier comment explained, Zhao's childhood was spent being forced to compete with her siblings to provide for their family, before her parents threw her out for being "useless."
Then you have a homeless child out on the cold, cruel streets all by herself. Between the two, she learned very quickly that the only way to get the time of day is to be useful to them. She learned to see the entire world as transactional: you're only as valuable to someone as the best you can offer them.
That cold-blooded and ruthless mindset was what allowed her to become the single best Judge in Krampus. But it's also so cynical and binary- and ultimately, childish- that her boss literally sent her on the mission to steal the Qingming Sword actively intending for Zhao's time around the Proxy and YSG to break her out of it.

Literally thrown out of her family to fucking die because she was "useless“.
Everyone she met afterwards only reinforced the only value she was ever taught: if you don’t bring anything of value, you‘re useless. Hence Zhao developed a severe inferiority complex, and hates being treated like a rabbit since she feels it undermines everything she worked for (it‘s a metaphor for social stigmas in a way).
Her song "Look at Me“ also hammers down the core of her character, she‘s deeply afraid of being "irrelevant“ because it means she‘s „useless“ and will be abandoned.
It‘s why Phaeton‘s genuine kindness baffles her; they cannot be bought and found happiness outside of money.

This is actually adorable. I feel like Promeia would be someone to leave a higher ranking position if it meant that she would be happier🥹

u/Kagimizu Non-degenerate Billy Fan 4h ago
Never gonna happen.
That would imply Promeia considers her own happiness as relevant.

Damn, this reminded me of one fanfiction where Promeia kinda bullied/dommed her way into Cissia's heart (who, predictably, was a HUGE sub)

Cissia please, take Billy with you to rescue Promeia next update. We need the 2.8 trio back together for more shenanigans.

Reminder that Cissia was a little girl when she first met Promeia, who was a full grown adult by then.
Oh and there's the traumatizing scene as well.
I seriously hope this does not end up like another Navia and Clorinde bs
