No reason it can't be, Sypheria. I personally have difficulty interpreting any of her actions as kind or nice given that the story began with capture, non-consensual transformation and strongly implied threats of rape, but that's just me. :) I don't mean that as an argument against anyone's interpretation, truly. One of the things I quite like about this comic in particular is the way it leads itself to different ways of looking at the story and the people involved.

I find the comments about the captor being a caring Mistress to be really interesting. Personally, I read her actions ("offering" her captive a dress and cloak, etc) to be much more rooted in humiliation than gentleness or caring. To be clear, that's not a complaint at all - it's just interesting to see how differently the same images and actions can be interpreted by different readers.
