Talk:Jophiel (Starcross)/@comment-28644276-20180421200059

Jophiel might be one of my fave villains out of Starcross. That devotion of hers to deny stagnation - even if it leads to her outright despising tradition itself - is actually put to good use as she acts upon it. Its like making her flaw her fuel and driving force all the same.

Villainous virtue at its finest.

It's also interesting how she has so many powers tailor-made to deal with Mastema but then her greatest fail-safe turns out to not work specifically against her. Ouch.

Her truth themes and how she never seems satisfied with answers unless she finds out for herself is pretty interesting too. It gave her motivation, but at the same time it became the roots of her problems as much as it influenced her efforts. And her indignation at the way things happen around Mastema, and even more how that seems to expand until it drags everything else into their matters... A lot of unresolved tension right there.

I like how she is willing to use and then backstab Lucey as soon as she "plays her part" in her plans to get the job done. So Jophiel is the one who fits to me the role of filling that Evil vs Evil situation I previously mentioned.

Her fight against Mastema has got to be one of the high points of Starcross' climax.
