Do you think the Mandy after the events of Witch’s Spell would be a “neutral” or malevolent entity as she soars off to other realms? 

Nia: 

Mandy would eventually become a malevolent entity as she travels through various realms. Her actions in “Witch’s Spell” were indeed Machiavellian, but I sensed a little malevolence within Mandy still. I believe that she will become even more apathetic and corrupt overtime, eventually becoming something we call “evil”, even if she doesn’t mean to be that.

wraiths, banshees, ghouls, etc. Mandy resides in planes far beyond our own, in realms of chaos (where she can create her own landscapes). In the physical world, rumors abound that she resides in abandoned buildings (like cathedrals) and slums where’s she’s disguised as an old beggar; but the most widely speculated is that of an old lair down the hills where supposedly Mandy kept the bodies from the early days of her personal journey. The group is currently making their way down to the location.

This Mandy is very cool! She's can create her own landscapes! 😱

She seems very antagonistic and oriented towards baneful things, and so I'm gonna assume that her landscapes may also contain torture chambers. I can't say that there is any evidence of that, but it seems that Mandy is focused on exacting some form of revenge on this world. She's also making herself into some type of "anti-god" with the chaotic realms and creatures of darkness, which could be her version of an angelic army. It would make perfect sense that she lures people in and does...something to them as some righteous sadist. She even hangs out in abandoned cathedrals, where there is no god around. 

That group has no idea what they are getting themselves into. Why in the world would you want to go to her lair?! I mean, I guess it makes sense in the context of research. I've just heard so many horror stories of historians, archaeologists, or tourists experiencing untimely deaths after visiting sites like these. I wouldn't do that! 

I never imagined Mandy as a peasant maiden villager or in a dark fantasy story, but it all fit her so well. I like her as an "anti-goddess" and commander of an army of underworld souls and dark creatures. She seems so distant and that she identifies more with "evil" spirits than anything else. I would doubt that she was ever a bored maiden; I would think that she was always a baneful spirit lurking in the woods, waiting for the perfect moment to attack. 

I'm just thinking about the differences between "Mandytale" and "Corpse Mandy". Corpse Mandy sought to liberate and recreate the world in her own image (as she had become a spirit or ghost in a shell). She is an antiheroine. Mandytale Mandy may not have the same intentions, but yet they both liberated souls from their supposed confines. She's more like the Mandy from "Hot Statues", which I now think is actually dead. I thought that she was pronounced dead after being missing for years, but now I'm starting to think that there is a zombie girl out here killing people and dipping them in wax. 😅

"Hot Statues" Mandy was a trickster sadist, and "Mandytale" Mandy seems to be a sadist too...but there's something a bit different about her because she's basically an anti-goddess with a true mission (of which I struggle to truly identify). 

I love this story. I can't believe a bored peasant maiden managed to become so powerful that she can free souls from the underworld and summon banshees...Too scary and too good! 

Side Note: I'm shy about posting my response to your question about Sam and Mandy's intimate moments. 😳😳😳

“Mandytale” A group of people were driving around the countryside, eager to find documentation into the authenticity of the Mandy (Totally Spies) legend. The legends say that Mandy was once a peasant maiden in a village who got bored with her life and decided to explore the darker side of human nature. Along the way she "transformed" and was imbued with dark powers. The legend says she has the power to awake the souls from the underworld and can summon all sorts of creatures of darkness such as

"Medieval Mandy", by virtue of her being a peasant maiden villager, is very different from "Modern Mandy", who is a wealthy metropolitan girl. However, both girls have the same goal of experiencing a becoming via "dark magic". This may be a core element of Mandy's personality, regardless of the specific form she takes on in a story. She is almost always trying to free herself from some oppressive reality, going as far as becoming an almighty corpse or dipping her slain victims in wax. She almost always has a grand mission, of which she will go any lengths to complete. 

We learned from Clover's demise in "Be Careful" that people tend to doubt or underestimate Mandy's Legend. They do not completely understand her motives or the scope of her transformation, which puts them in danger. I wouldn't go looking for proof of someone who is rumored to awaken souls from the underworld or summon potentially evil things. This entity seems purely antagonistic, and so I wouldn't bother. I'm probably in the minority about that, though.
