Blanche goes full on dictator

Some dictatorsplaining by Blanche, "In one of my many contemplations I stumbled across the deliciousness and irresistibility of power. Instability and threats, be they economic, political, environmental, or even technological are opportunities! I can harvest the discontent, because troubled people want fixes and I'm just clever enough to convince them I have answers. Democracy can be so trying and messy after all, and it's tough for people when they're in a tizzy. People don't want messy responsibilities. So as this glorious addiction to power grows, I just want more. The people will always be fools anyway! And when they start to get uppity, I just bring in the distractions and more villains. Even war, it's such a great leveller! Definitely a more bombastic expression of my nihilism, but hey, I embrace everything and nothing. Empires and civilizations will crumble nevertheless, and dictators like me are merely the symptom and harbingers."

Blanche, a true nihilist to her bony core, always looks good, embracing a simple elegance, taking her fashion cues from Roman antiquity and modern America. She may lose the empire but never her style.
