Gothel was also negligent to her biological daughter Cassandra, presumably having to be an unintended result of an affair with an unknown man. Gothel was a lazy mother, as evidenced by her treating her four-year-old daughter Cassandra as a maid by forcing her to do all household chores in their cottage by herself while Gothel spent all her time looking at herself at her magic mirrors and talking about the compliments she got by men, which also demonstrates her vanity.

Aside from manipulating Rapunzel herself, she also manipulated the Stabbington Brothers by seemingly giving them the chance of getting revenge on Flynn Rider as well as Rapunzel's gift to make themselves rich, only to betray them without keeping the latter half of her promise as she no longer needed them. She is also very possessive and selfish, evidenced by the fact that she had been hoarding the magical flower for hundreds of years all to herself, which could have instead been a gift to share with other ailing beings of the world. Aside from the magic golden flower Gothel selfishly uses to prolong her life to live forever, and her life alone, she lacks magical attributes, relying solely on her intellect to achieve her ambitions.

This ties into the fact that she is a phenomenal actress, a dangerous manipulator, and is very intelligent, while it also indicates that in her actual lifetime before discovering the flower, she was indeed an actual stage actress and performer before she retired due to her aging. Gothel presents herself with a theatrical flair, often flaunting her beauty and curvy appearance with much enthusiasm and dramatics.

Then I thought of her elemental/physical affinities based on the fact that her power comes from her hair and her association with light and reasoned that she'd be weak to slashing but would also nullify thunder/electricity (since that's a heck of a lightning rod!) and darkness and also repel light. I set her level to an arbitrary 88 and then reasoned that she'd be a little better well-rounded than Ariel, with ratings above 60 in all five categories. Rapunzel came to mind because she can work either in the Empress or Sun Arcanas (if you've done your homework on her, you know what I mean.) Since I went with an Empress Arcana Persona first in Ariel, I wanted to challenge myself a bit and translate a character that could fit into another Arcana as a Persona. This one also uses Syra (* AdenSyra)'s PhotoShop Persona 3 ID template here ( fav.me/d24mnpp). One more Disney Persona translation that I thought of this evening.
