Other Notes
|
Groucho Marx famously said that he would not belong to any club that would have him as a member. Fireball would not allow anyone to follow her who would follow her.
Since she can kill everyone she comes into contact with-- by a touch or even a smile-- who wants to be with her? So she uses her light and gold to attract people, then magic to bewitch people into staying. Of course, when they do, she loses all respect because of their weakness. And anyway, they don't like her for her, but only because she makes them, so their companionship is worthless. Since she can relocate to any other point on Earth in under an hour, and become invisible while doing so, she can also abandon any place she is in for another, instantly. (The combination of speed and invisibility may be mistaken for teleportation.) So why should she bother to form relationships? She is terminally unhappy-- lonely when alone, and bored/disappointed when with others. |
