raises hand as another early "oh she's GOTTA be evil" believer before I learned the truth ...
but I'm so glad I was wrong because Miss Yingying was suuuuuuuch a sweetiepie in the end?! I do really love how organically you sort of evolved how Yingying was perceived through the game's run, while never feeling like you were just pulling stuff out of your ass ... she always felt slightly askew from humanity in a strange way, but I think as we learned more about her, the reason for that 'off-ness' shifted from "oh she's gotta be evil" to "oh she just been through a lot 🥺," and I really admire how smoothly you made that shift! It was always such a delight getting to see how she interacted with different people, and I am, of course, a hardcore YiYi devotee at this point ... I want them to be happy!!!
Also I gotta confess that going from your Leda to your Yingying is a WILD-ASS tone whiplash, and I think your ability to play both of them so vividly speaks volumes about your flexibility as a writer! Both of them have been so well-realized and engaging, but in such vastly different ways, it's really impressive!
So yes thank you so much for threading with me, it has been so lovely getting to watch Miss Yingying find her happiness, and I'm looking forward to getting to play with you more in the future! ❤️
