In well depicted characters there is often a gap between what they say (how they see themselves, or want to be seen) and the things that drive them underneath the surface persona. Mina's public persona is at odds at times with her internal values, responses and desires - things that are likely to influence her without her even understanding it herself.I think I worded my reply unprecisely. i don't deny that your theory could be right. i was one of the few here who early on called mina out for the manipulative cold hearted behaviour she exhibited when throwing herself at mc from the very beginning at the cafe scene.
i just think its unlikely that TD will write her future role like that. even though that would be more fun than calling a LI an annoying cunt in the badik thread. lol
would certainly be surprised positively.
but i have to admit i'm a bit confused about it too. because i have little doubt TD can write some twist like that well, just like the club feels more and more threatening after abels visit. but i still can't imagine that mina is not there to indulge the inner nice guy of people a bit. that she trusts mc now more than ian is of course the typical porn game logic, like so often the mc comes and treats a girl so much better than her asshole boyfriend and now shes head over heels into him. even though that would be kinda insulting towards TDs writing quality.
one thing that would maybe go a bit against your theory is that mina seemed genuinly bothered by ians behaviour in the party club early in the game, when he was flirting with the violet hair chick. i think it as also said that this was a usual occurrence by felicia. not sure if she really cared that much if she was mostly waiting to cuck ian.
another possibility is that she just did usual leveling up monkey branching, when she realized that the guy she cant make fall in love (ian) admires mc like a god. so instead of further trying to get the love of ian she just tried to get the man who is above ian, the mc.
basically the absolute classic
maybe actually your theory and my theory don't even contradict each other that much. she could have been the evil manipulative cucking girl to ian - at least that idea could have formed after meeting mc - while still being the good naughty girl reward for mc's nice guy behaviour, and being good to him since her cucking thing is now off the bucket list (oh no, i think she said ian was not boyfriend enough for that to count!?) and she will now begin a nympho depraved relationship with mc.
again, have not played her new scene in the update yet. and clearly would find it funny to see your theory being whats really going on with mina lol
Her drive to show up her mother and also indulge her own deep inclinations can manifest as her feeling much 'safer' with Edwin faster than a relationship like theirs would normally progress. Combine that with her loneliness and upbringing and it's easy to see why she quickly latched on to Edwin. She could be manipulative without even realizing she's doing it on purpose, especially since Mina is conflict averse.
