i honestly can't remember what spawned this idea in my head specifically but i should preface that i am a sapphic who crushes hard on both of these woman so that probably is why both were in my mindscape at the same time. that and the fact that i saw this post that mentioned they're basically the same woman
speaking of. my evidence for miss endive and lady alcina dimitrescu being similar are:
woman known for being incredibly large for whatever reasons
generally seen as an antagonist in their source
has at least one daughter or daughter figure (panini for endive; bela, cassandra, and daniela for alcina)
dislike of men (endive's "stay away from boys" moment, alcina calling them "stupid manthings")
women of high stature (alcina is a lord with her own castle, endive is a well-known chef with her own famous kitchen)
have a specific man they can't stand (endive with mung daal, alcina with karl heisenberg)
feminine in appearance, plus both wearing dresses and hats/headpieces in their iconic outfits
involved in consumables (alcina with wine, endive with food in general)
consumes something taboo (alcina drinks blood, endive eats her own toe jam)
plus in my heart they're both lesbians. alcina's lesbian status was kinda confirmed by the scriptwriter (if not super obvious in the games), and endive's impulsive throwing herself at men and trying to marry quick SCREAMS comphet to me. her possessiveness and obsession towards men in canon feels incredibly like limerence. get this woman a beautiful wife and she'll calm down (plus marrying fast is one of those staple sapphic stereotypes. cmon now)
people love to say opposites attract, but frankly i believe women with similar interests would have a far better chance of a sustainable relationship especially after the initial cupcake phase of a relationship passes by
in an ideal world, these two women would cross paths and become an unstoppable empire with their combined skills and prowess. it's already hard enough to stop one of them alone, but both together? good fucking luck
plus they can be each other's sugar mommies
