But what's the constant risk of being deported back to her country when she's got a scumbag, opportunistic boyfriend willing to sell her into sex slavery to pay his debts? Mandalay: Tanya Bodoroff is already in a precarious situation by virtue of being a Russian refugee.Cell was only able to achieve his Perfect Form thanks to Vegeta's interference in search of a strong fight while Buu was only awakened because Vegeta's fight with Goku released the energy Babidi needed.
Despite this he frequently made things worse for the other characters due to his Inferiority Superiority Complex and constant need to prove his strength by beating Goku and other strong opponents. Vegeta of Dragon Ball Z started as a flat out villain but over the course of the the Namek arc became accepted as an unwilling ally.How is this the short? Personal feelings aren't yet in the equation. One other member, in wholly allied with the Commonwealth, is chosen to be the first to take action if she turns out to be The Mole, and the last has double duty as an observer, keeping watch so the third party she came from can decide who between the Kingdom and Commonwealth to ally with. Two people in the team (her friend and the original Princess, whom she traded places with) are more or less loyal to her first and foremost, and only one of those two keep an important, allegiance-related mutual secret with the Princess. The Princess of the kingdom, the enemy, joins that team early on, planning to usurp the throne of her own family (as there are other heirs in the way). the Commonwealth, the latter of which our team works for. The short of it: it's the Kingdom of Albion vs. Princess Principal's central spy team is made of five people and a hazy puzzle of loyalties.
Not The Mole, but may as well be.Ĭompare and Contrast with the Aloof Ally whose motivations and goals legitimately match the hero's AND does earnestly work alongside them when needed or when their interests align-they just don't consider themselves to be a part of The Team. It's a win-win.Įxpect the phrase "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" to be used, a sentiment that is quite often proven false in such situations.Ĭompare Divided We Fall where genuine allies fight, and contrast Enemy Mine where the above sentiment proves true. Often, this is part of a Xanatos Gambit if they can use the hero to do some dangerous dirty work then why not? They either accomplish a goal or lose a potential enemy. Occasionally, the "ally" will actually be another villain, who, for some reason, has decided that helping the hero is beneficial to their own long-term goals. they just have a mission of their own they are attending to. But as long as the hero is of use to them, they'll help out when they can. They aren't actively out to hurt the hero, it's just that they would happily betray the hero to the bad guy if it means that one of their schemes succeeded.
This so-called "ally" isn't overly concerned with the hero's welfare, or whether or not the hero succeeds in their mission. This agenda doesn't run contrary to the hero's, but at the same time, the other person's agenda doesn't fall seamlessly in line with the hero's goals, either. This person is fighting the Big Bad, just like the hero, but is doing so on their own terms with their own agenda. The hero is working to stop the Evil Plan of the Evil Overlord, and has, at long last, found an ally.
