the way ianthe uses coronabeth is actually genuinely genius. she just sits back, knowing thanks to a lifetime of living in her shadow, and lets everyone in canaan house underestimate her. she’s so fucking smart about it. if coronabeth hadn’t been there, she wouldn’t have been half as successful because harrow and palamedes would’ve clocked her immediately. they don’t even notice that naberius really only take his orders from ianthe (because she’s ACTUALLY the necro, not corona!!!). you gotta hand it to her. she came to play and she put down a solid performance.
