idea ive been thinking about a lot today im surprised i haven't seen in the fandom yet
what if instead of leather the handler styles herself more like a mental health professional wearing a pristine white coat?
someone who gaslights you into breaking down into the depersonalised thing that she needs and rebuilding you to suit her needs. she doesn't see you as a person, she sees you as a dataset to study and interpret, something she can apply her hypotheses too.
you're just a lab animal to be moulded into a weapon, who better to do that than a scientist with her fingers in your brain?
This makes a lot of sense actually. Handlers are already kinda an even evil-er princess bubblegum archetype lol.
