Omg! I accidentally got to this page, and I love it! I read all the books of this series, and Vampires of Manhattan. I was wondering, if you knew, because I wanted this to happen so badly, will Schuyler and Mimi ever become close friends? Like, these two have so many mutual friends, they both respected, the both can become queens now that Gabriella is gone, they both powerful, Jack can't live without either of them, they would make such an awesome team if they were to work together, so wduthink?
Hi!!! To be honest, I don’t think Schuyler and Mimi would ever be close friends. In a blog post from October 2011, Mel said:
Something i’ve always wanted to see is Sky and Mimi actually getting along. Will we ever see something like that in the books?Mel: That’s interesting, I think it’s why I like the Oliver/Mimi dynamic a lot, because it seems so improbable from the earlier books. I don’t think this will ever happen though, but we’ll see. Anything could happen in the finale.
The fact that we didn’t see something happen for them in the finale (or the sequel) makes me feel like it probably never will. They don’t really need to get along and be friends the way Oliver and Mimi did when they first discovered the Nephilim, and now that they’re living such different and separate lives I can’t really see them having a reason to work together. They have different priorities and motives: while Schuyler wants to live with her family removed from Blue Blood life, Mimi went from rebuilding Hell with Kingsley to acting as Regent again; while Schuyler and Jack reunited, Mimi is freed from her bond through his death and doesn’t need him in her life anymore (and vice versa). They might not hold the same animosity for each other as they did at the start of the series, but unless if something pushes them together I can’t imagine them seeking to build a relationship with each other.
