I will fight you guys for Celine!
Every work I read so far on ao3 portrays her as some diabolical figure. Coldblooded and cruel. Willing to hurt Rumi and the girls, or to exploit her in some manner.
This is not the woman who can hurt her daughter in cold blood
This is the woman who's mad on grief and fear. This is an absolutely broken woman who have no fucking idea what to do.
But most importantly, this is the woman who, under any circumstances, will absolutely never lay a finger on Rumi or even point a weapon at her.
Since the very first day of having Rumi, she understood that this girl could - and probably would - be a problem.
And she is: it's because of Rumi the previous Honmoon was undone
Honestly, Celine had to do Olympic level mental gymnastics to not just outright kill Rumi. And then she had to justify it to herself everyday since.
This is the woman whose entire purpose in life was to protect Honmoon.
And now she is watching, seeing as it comes undone. She is being told that it's Rumi's fault. By Rumi herself. And she is told that if she isn't putting an end to it right now, the Honmoon - the barrier maintained by generations upon generations of hunters, herself included - will be gone and demons will flood the Earth. A very literal apocalypse.
And this is still not enough for her to harm Rumi.
This woman loves Rumi so much, that she will rather see the whole world devoured by demons than to let Rumi die.
And she fears it, and she hates herself for it. And she is trying to come up with just about ANYTHING to fix it. Lie to Mira and Zoey, lie to Rumi, lie to hereslf, conceal the patterns, do anything to fix this.
Because killing Rumi is not an option.
If we imagine a scenario, in which Rumi abandoned her human part and became the full demon. Mira and Zoey are trying to stop her.
I am absolutely sure that Celine will shred any reason and will fight Mira and Zoey. She will be crying, she will be begging, she will try to lie to them. Anything.
But she will be fighting, protecting Rumi.
And I still think that she is horrible. The way she has been raising Rumi? Everything traumatic and insecure in Rumi? The very shame Jinu exploited?
All of that is Celine's fault.
Her methods towards Rumi were wrong.
But her intentions were not.
