Relationship with MC

• Deeply devoted to MC even before mind control - more of a natural admirer/follower type
• His gender dysphoria and love for MC are intertwined
• Working so closely with MC awakened both his devotion and his desire to be feminine
• The mind control means we never know if the gender transition was his deepest desire finally freed, or if his worship of MC made him want to reshape himself
• His transition feels natural because it comes from this place of wanting to be closer to MC, to be able to love MC properly
• The fact that he can't ever know if these feelings are "real" adds tragedy without needing much screentime

This makes sense because:

• It ties into the power fantasy aspect better
• The gender element comes from character motivation rather than feeling random
• His devotion mirrors other characters' feelings for MC but with this unique twist
• We don't need complicated personality traits - his core trait is this deep yearning
