[quote=@Ariamis] Oh, I'm down with that if you want to. [/quote] OK cool, so let's say Maria controls territory in which Eponine's slum is located. Eponine swore fealty to Maria, and by extension, the current ruler of Aurora. Eponine will do anything if she is convinced it is for 'the greater good', though she's not that much of a thinker, and with her condition, not much of a feeler either, so should be fairly easy for Maria to manipulate. She sees MG's as enforcers of order, and may be reluctant to fight other MG's but can be easily convinced that her enemies are trying to disrupt order. Eponine probably won't really mind that Maria is slowly consolidating power, but if and when Maria finally decides to go against the ruler of Aurora, she will have to convince Eponine that she can rule more firmly and enforce laws more absolutely. Considering the probably constant infighting and chaos as MG's vie for power and standing, Eponine would welcome an absolute, tyrannical rule. Basically, Eponine will become Maria's [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDragon]Dragon[/url]. I made the following changes to my CS and posted to the Characters Tab: "Eponine sought out the magical girl that governed over her region, Maria Goethe, and swore fealty to her, aligning herself and her community to Aurora. Now she rules over and protects the slum, which has become her fief, her territory which is part of Maria's larger domain. She keeps Fantine safe in Maria's HQ."
