Is it true that the Wish selected Bread for the Cat ring, and if it is why did it choose her in particular?
Is Bread's mental split a side effect of Catalyst? Or is it the corruption of the ring caused by the wish finally setting in? Or some other secret third option.
The Wish choose Marinette becuase she was a victum of bullying and a descendent of one of Tikki's bugs. If the Wish succseded then it would be a devistaing blow to the last thread of hope Tikki had in Plagg.
Bread's mental condition is mainly due to her circumstances. Being bullied by Chloe and everyone else has not had a good effect on her. Everyone loves Cheshire while to Bread Marinette brings nothing but bad things.
I see, that makes sense.
So what exactly spared her from falling down the dark path? I know that Plagg's teachings and the lack of Order activity had some help in it, but she is not evil whatsoever. And every single cat before has been down right villainous, so what's different about her? Is it the Ladybug heritage?
The Wish only has so much energy due to how little the Order is benefiting now from it. So because Cheshire was such an active hero, despite how miserable Chloe made Marinette, it was much easer for the Wish to make the Order the villain. As for why Cheshire never became a villain, it was partly due to Plagg's teachings, but also not wanting to disappoint the various kwami. Marinette/Cheshire could never stand disappointing the only person who cares about her. Then after getting Trixx she wanted to prove that she was worthy of his and the others kwami's trust.
Her heritage only gives her a bit more knowledge and a small, small, amount of luck.
That makes sense.
I figured that the Wish wouldn't be as active without the Order there to be countered by a Cat, especially since Fu was the last member alive as of this point in the story. I also knew that Bread was being a hero because of Plagg, I just didn't realize that her need for friends and validation were so strong that it could overwhelm the Wish, or that the Wish was always active even after the fall.
Was Fu's mistake also caused by the Wish or just a happy little accident?
Yeah, The Wish didn't have much to work with. As for Fu, his accident was internally his own.
As for Bread's need for validation. Yeah, that was something the Wish didn't account for. The Wish is powerful, but it isn't all-powerful or all-knowing. Often, it had to realign things to get them back on track.
