Margarita is not, in her heart of hearts, a coward. How else could she even be, given her young age and perilous predicament? Unlike Lillet, who although poor had a happy home life, Margarita grew up watching those with magical potential be persecuted in horrible ways and then had her worst fear played upon to make her submit to vile wills. And really, those two words sum up Margarita way better than they should: naive and desperate. In most of the cycles, Margarita felt like she couldn't count on anyone at the Silver Star Tower for help and so went blithely to her doom, having nothing to cling to but the naive, desperate hope that she would be left alone once she succeeded. She was manipulated to the extent that she was because she feared being burned at the stake more than the consequences of her actions, yet she stood up to Surely when he attempted to kill Lillet and Hiram. She often succumbs to the simple, yet ugly selfishness of valuing her own life above all else when backed into a corner, yet is capable of drumming up plenty of courage with someone at her side supporting her. Margarita's greatest failing is her unreliable spine. In fact, the guilt and regret still eating her up by the time the game ends drives her to flee over the horizons and destroy the last of Calvaros' wandering monsters to atone for her earlier self-centered weakness. She never wanted to betray everyone or cause their demise, because Margarita is neither evil, a sociopath, or completely oblivious to the consequences of her own actions. In fact, forget lying: Margarita has never been shown to enjoy what she's made to do in order to stay alive. Instead of making up intricate untruths that could trip her up later, not to mention give her even more guilt to nurse, Margarita will hold her tongue. Margarita prefers to keep her plans simple and straightforward, and the easiest way for her to do that is to either tell a small lie, lie by omission, or feign total ignorance. Although it doesn't help that she's never been very good at deception- she can lie, if she has to, but weaving a complex web of deceit around people is too complicated. Unfortunately, this includes the literal sense- Calvaros strangles her in at least one of the time loops to "reward" her for setting him free.īut it's not as if Margarita got her kicks lying to people during any of the cycles, especially to those she counted as friends. Growing up in a village that burnt witches at the stake has traumatized her in ways that, although largely unacknowledged by her conscious mind, makes her play right into Calvaros' hands. See, Margarita hides a deep-rooted fear of dying violently. Her role in the story is that of a traitor who releases Calvaros' soul, an action that results in the death of everyone within the tower.including herself. But Margarita's lackadaisical attitude is, in many ways, a sham, because Margarita doesn't have very many reasons to be carefree. She's carefree, cheerful, can be almost whimsical at times and, frankly? She seems to be the epitome of normalcy when set up against such characters as Hiram Menthe, who's hot for his teacher, or Amoretta, a depressed homunculus. A social butterfly that's as eager to gossip as she is to make your acquaintance, Margarita easily befriended the main character within five minutes of their first meeting. Dig a little deeper and you'll find that she's also somewhat pushy, rather opinionated and incredibly mischievous. If neither of these are sufficient, I can write something up.Īt first glance, Margarita's upbeat, confident, forward and friendly to a fault.
