There is a reason why there are SO FEW MAIN FEMALE ANTAGONISTS in video games and anime. In DQ there's some minor villainesses like Krystalinda or Evil!Jessica, but no MAIN ones.
I think that It's because (generally speaking) women and men fight differently.
A man will strike you with a divine sword of might, but a woman will destroy you mentally and emotionally, and that's harder to convey visually. Mean Girls is NOT a movie, it's a documentary.
I think about what the ending of DQXI would be like if Calamos was a mean girl. It'd probably go like this:
Eleven: I will fulfill my destiny to defeat you and save Erdrea! The Goddess Yggdrasil has guided me to this point!
Calamos: Yeah, save your sword from piercing me and go and put it up Erik's ass already.
Eleven: ...What?
Calamos: Me and Yggie have been trying to get you two together for CENTURIES since we first saw the prophecy. Like everything we planned up until this point has been to get you and Erik together.
Eleven: I don't believe you--no(hand starts glowing)
Yggdrasil: Why are you TELLING them this out loud? Ugh, I AM SO NOT inviting you to Wednesday afternoon brunch if you don't get this over with and finally get them together. And you KNOW I make a great gluten-free quiche.
Calamos: Alright, my birch bitch. Is Dhoulmagus coming to our book club this week? Or is he still pissed at Ladja about that thirsty fancam he made of Lester Holt?
Yggidrasil: I don't know. Go text him after this.
Calamos: FINE! Anyway, Eleven, I'll stop destroying the world if you destroy Erik's virginity.
Erik: WHY ARE TELLING ALL OF MY FRIENDS THAT I'M A VIRGIN!?
Serena: H-Have you and Yggdrasil really been plotting together?
Calamos: So you're finally paying attention? If only you did that with your hair. Short hair does NOT fit your vibe, my girl.
Veronica: I refuse to believe your LIES! And HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY SISTER! I may be small, but I possess the might--
Calamos: Oh, and you. A cartoon character being turned into a little kid? How original. Oh, SPEAKING of original--Hendrick, do you know why Jasper loves Cats of all musicals? He's been playing it nonstop!
Hendrick: I have not the slightness clue as to what you are speaking of. He did always love cats, though...(sheds a single tear)
Calamos: Oh, and Sylvando. You are perfect in every way possible. Go slay, queen.
(awkward silence follows)
Calamos: Anyway, I've a manipedi appointment at 6, so...see you next week? Same time, same place?
Calamos CAIE ETF crosses $1B in assets with unbroken streak of weekly inflows since launch
