Renner and Malty? About the only thing they have in common is that they are both princesses. Malty was the ‘dumb one’ in a brilliant family who got twisted by her crushing feelings of inferiority. She’s utterly obsessed with proving she’s superior to others to deny her own deep sense of worthlessness, and she’s emotionally immature enough to believe that having power over others makes her better than them, no matter if that power is obtained through status, manipulation, deception or brute force. She’s incapable of caring about anyone but herself and only sees other people as a means to prove her superiority. Renner is an unmatched genius who grew up without any emotional support, and nearly wasted away as a child out of sheer apathy; she literally didn’t have a single reason to keep living. Climb was the first one who ever really looked at her as a person, and became her one and only attachment to the world. She’s not just emotionally immature, she’s completely undeveloped, and her feelings for Climb are essentially every kind of emotional bond she’s never had an outlet for (love, friendship, respect, trust, desire, comfort, etc) all mashed together in a big, tangled contradictory mess. Her desire to keep him chained up is mostly metaphorical, stemming from her desires to protect him, posses him, and her fear of losing her only bond (though she would happily chain him up literally if she didn’t know it would break the bond she’s so desperate to keep). As for the rest of the world, she has no feelings whatsoever; the world never cared about her, and she never learned to care about the world. Hurting people doesn’t bring her pleasure, guilt or any other emotion, and helping people gives her no satisfaction either. She’s a ‘monster’ because of her unparalleled intelligence and total lack of basic empathy, but there’s nothing even slightly malicious or benevolent about her. Renner is almost inhumanly neutral, while Malty is actively malevolent.
