>do it for the parasite people
I don't like parasite content though, I'd only do it if I really liked how Nettles was coming together.
>Nettles
She's holding a faerie by the neck with her foot, swinging it around while she sits on a branch, playfully enjoying it. She makes an offer to pass the faerie off to the player so they could have fun with it, expecting that the faerie would suffer even more in a larger being's hands. Whether you take the faerie and free her or you do what Nettles expects, you shift things toward the good or corrupt path.
Corrupt path lets you and Nettles be sociopathic on the tier of animal killers in kitten-crush videos but with sexual options not just violence (a lot of violence would be locked behind the gore toggle)
You become this monster she's playing with, like the muscle that far exceeds her(even a child is 3x her size) that she can throw victims away to. She'll even set up situations where she causes a problem with something much more powerful than her and draws it to you, expecting it can't get through you, and even if it can, she can just get away from it.
You can be more of a good person though, if you're weird like that. She still won't trust you and will spite you in mean-spirited ways as she can, hoping to upset you for fun.
That said, it's a bit weak and far far undercooked. I considered for one thing: making her an accessory to Jojo's content. Jojo is profoundly forgiving, a monk with a heart of gold, he'll try to direct a corrupt player onto a good path even if they tried to rape him. There's a soul to save in there, so if there's any chance to save it, he must try. Nettles could be a chance to challenge his philosophy, and also let in more glimpses of Jojo's deep survivor's guilt that goes back to him being the only survivor of his village. He doesn't deserve it, this weird asocial kid that would rather read than do anything kids do. He wasn't the best monk, he wasn't a beloved child, he was just him. Loving parents sure, accepted and liked by the monks, yeah, but he's just him. They told him to flee, and he did, and they are all gone. Forgiving the worst in others to see them become something better is a bit of him trying to forgive himself by being as good as he can be. Who is he to condemn another when he is this guilty?
Nettles would not be redeemed in any timeline. But she could start on the path and look like, eventually, she'd get there. But she'd die before that (I don't think she can be redeemed in a convincing way in a reasonable amount of time, so killing her off can give a little sting of "if only there was more time" and stop bothering with it)
So, Nettles is dead. But, before she died, at some point, for some reason, she'd have shared various things about her history and her kind, and the player would have the chance to get eggs laid in them. Just one egg if parasite content is off, and it'd be like a tumor, very boring, but works. Either way, you eventually end up with one named daughter that I'd probably name after a pretty flowering nettle species or maybe after a thistle, another prickly family of plants but they don't sting like nettles do.
And she'd present the opportunity for a kind of what-if scenario of would Nettles have been such a disgusting, awful person if she was raised in a better situation? If she didn't experience what she did? Or maybe pixies are just dangerous parasites and their original world is right to do everything they do. Pixies may be horrifying parasites in a clinical sense, but rats are awful pests too and you're still fucked up if you torment rats. Shove a wild rat in a small cage and hurt it, play with it like a toy, underfeed it, overfeed it, throw it. Doing this in response to an infestation of rats in your town speaks ill of your mental state. But, then, these pixies are pretty grotesque, they do infect wounds with eggs and fester inside you, eating your flesh from within. There's a bitter sense of justice to abuse them. But raise your own pixie and find out. Nettles was bad enough you probably don't sympathize, but what of the innocent and untainted pixie? I bet she tastes like crab with a slightly eggy element, worst case scenario you made lunch. Well, also you made an ecological nightmare with an invasive wound-infecting species in the case of parasite being enabled. But that's not your problem.
