Jez has made enough comments about her brothel days and how men need to be handled in order for women to be avoid being mistreated that I consider it more likely that her dominance is a form of armor and shield than any sort of hard-wiring.
That is incredibly generous and a lot of reading into a offhand comment. It is nothing any other ruthless madame wouldn't say, they also don't want their girls bruised up, bad for business.. Also don't you think its strange the amount of glee she takes in dominating and hurting others including women for someone with such benevolent beginnings?
And as for those beginnings I will say again: Sex Demon. Born from the literal seed of Satan.
She doesn't do what she does because she's scared of getting hurt (she can't really be hurt be mundane means) she does it because she likes it.
Her nature is that of a hedonist
A dominant one yes. Indulging in pleasure doesn't mean you enjoy it equally in every form. A hedonistic gay man isn't going to sleep with women for example. Its her nature to dominate and manipulate therefore it is what gives her the most pleasure since its what it aligns the most with her true self.
Sid in Toy story broke toys cause he was a little asshole, not because his father was killed by a crate of toys falling on his head and now a hurt Sid seeks revenge on all of Toykind.
Again. If I am proven wrong in the future then I am. But I there is nothing in what is depicted in the game right now that doesn't mesh with what she is presented as. Not without a massive dose of good will and reaching. Honestly at this point we might as well try to redeem Andras.
