Does anyone have any theories on what Ella wants?
I think at FIRST she wanted to use the power of the Arbiter with herself as a vessel. But the 4th told her she wasn't worthy upon her 5th Evolution or whatever so she is now relying on US (MC) as a backup.
If that is the case, it makes sense with her micro management to mold us into her perfect little pet (it's working on me but not in the way she thinks) AND why we were replaceable in the beginning of our growth.
Ella has shown she can throw her moral compass out the window with those close to her, i.e thanking us for killing Christine so she doesn't have to hold back or killing us in the first place (we have a past).
But that still doesn't explain WHY she wants that ability, what's the end goal? She must know that she can't win against the monster world so WHY is she doing this? Is it JUST to obtain unfathomable individual strength? Or is there something more to it...
You see I was under the impression that accepting the Arbiter, no matter the Evolution, is giving up SOME level if not all of your free will. I HIGHLY doubt Ella wants to become this husk of her former self for a bunch of monsters she DOES NOT WORK FOR (noted by herself).
There's a lot in her past too during Middle School that doesn't add up. If she DID slaughter her class (which I highly doubt), WHY? What was the point? Why was she so AGAINST whatever the 4th or 3rd was whispering into her head during her walk with Christine when she lashed out and smacked her? According to Christine she was FULLY AWARE of her power even toying with her bully at this point, so what did the 3rd & 4th say that scared her into mental insanity in that moment?
To further that power awareness argument what was up with Ella "testing" her powers at Highschool? By this point she most CERTAINLY had a grasp on her abilities, why was she almost trying to test herself with a human of all people? I'm gonna replay the Highschool Investigation soon so I could be misremembering that last part but you get the gist.
I was just trying to see what some of your theories/predictions are on. We ARGUABLY know what the 3rd & 4th want (their Lord/Arbiter resurrected), but what does ELLA get out of her grand plan?
