Do you hate the Blue Fairy?
(I'm asking on this channel because she is your OC.)
Isabella: ...... Well.... In the beginning... Yes.... When Pinocchio told me his story about her for the first time. I was enraged. Especially after Pineapple and Ladysaw told their stories as well. When we made the Blue Fairy our maid, the rage for her was still rage.
But.... After a while I started to feel..... Not pity for her.... But... Neutral towards her.
At some point, I began to help her with cleaning certain areas and she's even helped me cook dinner a couple times. Not going to lie, she knows how to make a delicious potato cream soup.
One day however.... My perspective of her really changed.
It was after a hard work day. She had finished all the cleaning and chores and I thought she deserved a reward for doing an excellent job. So I made some fresh watermelon slices and we ate together.
For a while, she was a bit tense. I don't blame her. With how long she's been punished by the others, she's probably not used to this type of treatment. But she then asked me a question and it just turned into a pretty nice conversation. It was one of the few times I've heard her truly laugh.
Then... The conversation started to get more serious.
She began to tell about her stories of helping children over the many years. At least, that's what she thought she was doing. She told me how she was taught to help children and if they did bad things, they would be punished. For years, she thought she was doing the right thing because that's what she was told was right. But now, looking back. She realized that she wasn't helping them. She was punishing them for things that were out of their control.
Back then, she had never considered the full situation. Just that he was stealing and punished him because of it. She didn't realize how much pain he was actually going through with his family and was made to believe that good things what happened if you were good.
But now... Watching us help so many people by doing things that she was taught were bad, made her realize that sometimes.... To do a good thing, you sometimes need to do a bad thing. She wished she could fix what she had done but... She knows that even if she did, no one would ever truly forgive her.
That's when I fully saw her for who she really was. Not truly a bad person, but not really a good person either. She was just someone who was taught one way and was never fully explained about other options or exceptions.
In a way.... She was like me.... Someone who was taught to do one thing, but was never told what was an exception or a limit. It caused us to actually hurt people when we thought we were doing the right thing and wish that could just fix those mistakes, even if we know that the ones we've hurt would never truly forgive us.
It also made me realize something.... I wasn't just enraged by her because of what she did. I was enraged by her because she reminded me so much of who I was before this. Back when I was made to just take care of one child. Back then, I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought I was protecting her. But instead... I hurt her. I hurt Lily.
After that day... We weren't just neutrals. We were equals. We both understood each other in a way that no one else did. We began to work together more often with cleaning and cooking. We even go out for shopping together. I've even taught her how to knit. She's honestly really good at it.
I haven't completely forgiven her for what she's done and I know that the others would forgive her at all. Especially Pinocchio, pineapple, and Ladysaw.
We could give her a chance to prove she can be better than before....
Sigh... I know the others are going to judge me when they see this. But this is my truth.
I hope one day she can fix her mistakes.... As I still need to fix my own...
