Yeah, the Mandrake was interesting. Earwig was freakin' annoying. Her literal driving motive was to get everyone to give her whatever she wants whenever she wants and to do whatever she says. And she gets it! There's not rhyme or reason to it, people just start doing what she wants. Heck, it almost makes her come across as the villain. By the very end, she says that her best friend/maybe crush is the only one who she still can't get to do whatever sh wants, but she's sure she'll be able to get him to in time. It's like, this is the person we're supposed to be rooting for?
