@311i3, i told it before and I'm going to insist, that in this exact timeline its Ariah who's meanest bitch around. Its her who's being unfair to Mielle, cause she taking revenge for things that Mielle didn't do (yet), ruining her life and trying to take away her lover, while all Mielle's attempts of retaliation failed miserably. I have 0 sympathy for a character that knows the future and instead of trying to make peace and correct Mielle when she's but a child and can still be redeemed, she instead exacts even more horrible revenge. Even if Mielle would be such incorrigible person, that she couldn't be reformed in any way, Ariah still can just marry in adequate family and forget about all those horrible people around. Lets not forget that in original timeplot Ariah died because she got provoked in crimes and misdeeds, so if she'll be a little more patient this time around, Mielle will have nothing on her.
