It took me some time finally nail down exactly the voice, the mannerisms, the overall package of Nightshade. But when I realized, eventually, that she was simply the bitchiest version of Mary-Louise Parker imaginable, it fell into place quickly. And Mary-Louise Parker fits Nightshade like a glove. She sits back in the dimmest corner of Oblivion left by its inimitable decorating staff, feet kicked up on a footrest of a barca lounger made of shadows, sipping loudly at an inky drink with a straw that, if just lowered a half inch, would plunge into her drink and be far less of an annoying noise maker. Black Alice adores Nightshade, and oddly, Eve Eden seems to be the most skilled of the various mentors in Oblivion, capable of restraining Alice and keeping her thirsting for more from her rather one-note powered teacher. Nightshade lobs verbal criticisms that are quite vicious, occasionally bordering on threatening. Especially with Silhouette, who she has promised to murder multiple times. Yet, it comes with this measure smile and casual hint of confidence in her voice that she just... gets away with it. And you can't blame her - Nightshade's truly violent side is reserved for her own family (she killed her own brother in cold blood) and anyone with darkness-based or shadow-originating abilities. She possesses no qualms about simply stating plainly that she will rid the Earth of anyone with abilities like hers - that they always corrupt, absolutely, and the only way for them to be dealt with is certain, final death. She even tried to skewer the Kryptonite Woman when Eclipso's gem had infiltrated her bloodstream. And you know... now that I think about? Nightshade's reservations might have proven entirely valid. Just look at the state of the world, the campaign of ill fortune waged by Jean Loring and her powers of twilight. Maybe Nightshade isn't as barking mad as some people seem to think... And yet there is still another wonderful, delightful aspect to Eve. She's a politician's kid, a wealthy socialite that has grown up in the superhero brat pack. From a young age, she was tested, treated and prepared to be a government-backed hero. As a result, Eve has really never known a life outside heroics. She's mentored many (including Rosetta), she's served in teams ranging from the LAW to the Suicide Squad to the Force of July, and in her downtime? Well, the black of her powers must extend to her credit card, for Eve is a clotheshorse of unrepentant desires. And holding on constantly to her Starbucks-esque inky drink, it's easy to see how all of this turns her back to the Mary-Louise Parker in all of it. Eve can be catty, she can be insulting, she can be threatening, but she's never without a smile, never without an easy control of herself and her demeanor. Even when she's attempting murder on an injured ally, well... there's a playfulness to it. What a wonderful, horrible person. But I don't want to get into the weeds on it.
