Shego's Evil Personality

[Lord FunkyHoof]

Okay, so I long time back I began to write a KP fanfic, and later into it we begin to learn more of Shego. But as I did, I couldn't help but wonder why Shego acted so evil. As far as I can see, there are only three possibilities:

She was born evil, a bad seed, it only took her a while to realize it.

She doesn't like to show her true emotions, which she thinks is a sign of weakness, so she tries to hide them behind a blanket of hate.

She was a good person to begin with, but she was misunderstood and went through tough life changes, thus making her feel "Why should I be good when everyone around me is bad?" kind of thing.

Your thoughts?

Though one can't be naturally, born evil, Shego is very close to it. I feel that Shego wants to be evil because she can get more out of life from it. Her hatred toward her brothers set her down the path to be evil. That is when she knew herself.

I'm digging into this subject right now with my new KP fanfic. Far as I see it, Shego was a good person in the beginning - I mean, it's stated quite confidently that she used to be a hero as a member of Team Go. But I'd say she was a hero in the way of, like, say, Han Solo or Hellboy - you know - cocky, full of attitude, quick to fight, got a vicious lip, sometimes breaks the rules and/or law to get what they want, etc... but then either something or a series of somethings happened and she found going full evil helped her out of the situation/situations - but then she found she liked being evil more than being good, and decided to stick with the evil thing instead of going back to the anti-hero type.

I wish there are KP DVD's of all episodes so I can spend a week studying everything. Heck, only yesterday did I know that Team Go existed.
I'm going for number two: She dislike being good since there are so many limitations. That, and I think she realize showing emotions is a sign of weakness.

I don't know......

yes i know how she is, she feels it is a sign or weakness and vulnerability if she reveals anything. like if she were to show that she cared for drakken, then most likely villains or people will attempt to harm him, and i think she doesnt want to make it obvious, but is giving little signs that she does care for him. like in emotion sickness it only extended the real love she had for him, i can see her crying for drakken if he was hurt, and kissing him when she is in the mood or he does the gesture first. i dont see her pulling away either, she only lets drakken touch her or to get physical contact with her. i mean she is not truly evil, she does care for her brothers, but just finds them annoying. but everyone does have someone they are frustrated with. any ways thats what i believe and i agree with all of you:)

Real evil people don't describe themselves as such. Shego's "I.Am.Evil" is a mask, for what exactly? That's for anyone to interpret.
