Artist, animal, manhwa and fashion lover, tea enthusiast. I'm at my best when I'm talking from a script.

I have a youtube where I talk about random things: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtsyRamblingRoses/videos
To have a book like this encourage you to follow in the protagonist’s footsteps and do what they did… such brilliant storytelling and such a horrible revelation.

But I think that's all on my thoughts about Goddess Fall...

I am genuinely excited for what happens next, but I know that things will only get worse before they get better. Still, I've been here since Elegg's release, and I don't plan on going away any time soon! #gamethoughts #gametheories

old appearance. I'm working on a script for a Nikke character design video so I'll delve into it there, but the storytelling between both her forms is so well done, and I hope the form she takes now reflects both elements while being a mature version of both.

demands boiled down to bread and meat. And she was so happy to get more food offered to her.

And now that she has her memories back, I'm looking forward to seeing how she grows from there... Hopefully, she won't eat rocks and bugs anymore. I hope her new form is an evolved blend of her new and

who wants friends. Granted, she did a lot of bad shit, but still, she just wants friends, and I'm glad she ate Indivilia.

I'm glad that I could see Kilo and Talos again, I really liked them as characters, and they definitely helped lighten the mood.

Lastly... I liked how Snow White's initial

Nihilister was fantastic as always. I mentioned it earlier, but realizing that her VA is also Gangle was... Damn, her range is great. But I could kinda hear bits of Gangle in her performance as Liberallio.

But I digress. I am hoping that Nihilister lives because she's just a tsundere dragon lady

I could tell that he was deeply sad about losing Noah, furious at Dorothy, and just... that ten-minute rest line, I could feel his exhaustion.

Also, Indivilia sucks. I don't even want her to be playable because I can't forgive her for slashing Marian's eyes and trying to eat her. Poor Marian....
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
But yeah! That's my big Dorothy conspiracy theory.

And before I go, here's a few more random thoughts.

All the English Voice Actors did a great job, Johan's VA especially. He has such a gruff voice, but manages to deliver such a nuanced performance.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Maybe I'm delving into fanfic territory with this theory, but I feel like that could be a plausible evolution of Dorothy's story.

She could return to the Ark... but I think with the crystal debacle, she might be on thin ice there as well.

What happens next won't be good, that's for sure.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Without the corruption, Dorothy wouldn't have lost Pinne and honestly the plot would be INCREDIBLY different. Someone on reddit said that Red Shoes is the catalyst for EVERYTHING going bad in Nikke, and while she didn't bring the raptures to earth, she made them more powerful.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
be redeemed with death (I hope not though), her taking out Mirror and the remnants of the corruption code, along with herself, would be a tragic but redeeming end.

She'd be doing something selfless for everyone for once and would get revenge on the person who made it so that she lost Pinne.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
The devs did state they love poetic justice, and I could see it from two perspectives: Dorothy, going from manipulating others to being physically manipulated by the creator of corruption (which is another level of angst in and of itself).

And if Dorothy does something bad enough that she can only
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
But this isn't a surefire theory; we don't even know if the red shoes are still functional or are gone.

But I can't shake the theory that Dorothy will be wearing red shoes at some point... and that the shoes will allow Mirror to have a body again, with Dorothy as an unwilling participant.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Do I think joining Mirror will be Dorothy's end?

I don't know. Dorothy is an incredibly complex character, but she's broken, fragile, and backsliding constantly, which also makes for an incredibly frustrating character.

ESPECIALLY if you know someone like Dorothy IRL.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
this story, maybe even more so.

I can't shake the feeling that these two characters are going to become well-connected. And with a good enough promise to bring Dorothy back to the old days, especially with Rose as living proof...

She'll be in a bad position to be manipulated...
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
I can't shake the feeling that she's going to be wearing those red shoes at some point.

There are elements of each fairytale that appear in each story... but we haven't gotten anything relating to the shoes. I know her weapon is Unforgivable Oz... but the shoes are just as important as Oz is in
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
farther from the ones she loves, let alone her home.

She may gain new companions in Mirror and Rose, but if Mirror has been working behind the scenes long enough that she's able to play both sides flawlessly....

Dorothy is going to become another pawn. Even if she doesn't yet realize it.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
She is alone and adrift in a place she doesn't recognize.

But who else is out there? Red Shoes/Mirror. Someone we've seen show people exactly what they want to see while having her own agenda...

And with Dorothy as fragile as she is... I can see Mirror taking her down a path that leads her
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
So coming to Dorothy... This could become incredibly twisted if it goes the way I think it will.

Because at this period in time, Dorothy has lost her home, and I would argue that Eden takes the symbolic role of her home, as she couldn't get into the Ark long enough to make it home.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
....And well, I haven't seen Red Ash, so I'm missing connotations between Snow White and Red Hood. And since Scarlet and Rose are from a Korean fairytale (that I didn't grow up on) and I didn't see their event, I can't speak to their similarities... But that isn't to say they aren't there.
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
limit, like how the traditional Little Mermaid loses her voice and is threatened with transforming into seafoam.

Red Shoes gets her shoes chopped off, which proceed to wander off while her body remains, like how Karen gets her feet chopped off, and her severed feet continue to dance in the shoes
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
even lower.

Think about it. Nikke has always been good at incorporating elements of the fairytale character's stories into Nikke, while also inserting them in a way that makes sense.

For Example.

Siren/Little Mermaid struggling to speak and spoke of turning into liquid metal once she reached her

and are dead or on their last legs, they can benefit from it.

Whenever she talks like that, I think of the children in the Ark who are bound to suffer from her actions.

But that moment made my heart sink because I knew that Dorothy... either this is the lowest she's going to go, or she's going
November 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
are either dead or on life support. Johan didn't even speak to her because he was so mad. And seeing her in the overworld, standing alone, I had hope she'd be reflecting.

But then she went and spoke of the third reclamation war and how once everyone in the Ark has expended their resources
