wtf my life is a lie.
And I really need to read that now that I'm actually caught up.
Fine, let's say I meant Indigo way back. Not Blue.

Im kinda sad Red wasn't magenta because of cyan being used instead of blue. Magenta just sounds more impressive.
It does, but the point is that Red is lame. First level of cultivation.

I think she'd be more like Cyan. Winter-Cat was pretty OP but the mental effects of her mantle produced certain setbacks. I don't think anyone in Indigo would be as limited
They do have those setbacks though. Well at least if I'm reading this right. Their domains are an extension of them. Their domains are them. Cat just picked one up off the ground.

Heh. "picked one off the ground"
Well anyway, as powerful as Winter-Cat is, I think people in the Indigo or Violet domain might be more powerful.
We'll have to see in a few years when we get more demonstrations then.
But do remember that she had the capability to raise thousands of undead, or drop a lake from the sky.

I think the effect of the mantle were partly overstated by an unreliable narrator.
And Cat never used the mantly to its fullest effect.
Had she actually learned to use the mantle to its fullest effect, she might have been close to a white.
But instead she clung to mortality with all her might.

Don't you guys think you should use the spoiler function for some of what you're saying?
I have no idea how you did the inline spoilers.

Neither of these feats seem indigo to me, the raising thousands of dead thing is admittedly hard to compare, but that's because the nature of magical powers in FoD is different from PGtE
But I am not entirely familiar with Practical Guide to Evil so I quickly checked a list of feats she has accomplished
Near as I can tell she is at most a cyan, she seems to have had quite a few ups and downs to her power level over the course of things though, so she might have been higher or lower at some points

In the toolbar, next to the button for emojis, there are 3 dots. Click on it for the dropdown menu and hit "Inline Spoiler". It has the flag icon next to it.
All this talk about feats is reminding me of-
Wait. FoD is original fiction.
Which means Ling Qi is eligible for...
Vs Battles

The real question is just how broken will people on vs battles make her. Some of the wank/terrible interpretations on the site are just stupid.

They would make her really, really, broken. I mean, her music can attack the very soul of a target which is a method of attack that no amount of physical protection can defend against. This is pretty much an outside-context problem against any sci-fi or fantasy work that doesn't have any interaction with souls.
Then you have the problem that Ling Qi can bypass any purely physical barrier, and containing her in a purely physical manner is almost impossible.
There is also the problem of how to contextualize the fact that Ling Qi is in the Green Realm and how that stage of power stacks up to any other universes stages of power or even dealing with mortals.
All in all, Ling Qi is difficult to evaluate against other characters from different universes and would either destroy them or be destroyed in turn (by the likes of minor gods or other similarly op characters). So yeah, people would make her broken.
iirc vs battles has a habit of not using characters that are still going through fairly fast power growth, so they probably wont start arguing about LQ anytime soon
From the past few posts, I'm assuming we'll chuck her against Cat from PtGE?
Hows the soul damage going to work when Cat's was literally Winter and Night for a period of time?

PGtE is a terrible source for a vs battle, because the setting is so tied up in things. Catherine Foundling isn't dangerous because of the powers she's throwing around, she's dangerous because she is Catherine Foundling and her ability to recognize and use stories as weapons. An ability that is entirely reliant on the setting rather than the character.

You mean Winter and then Night. If she were both at once, that would way too OP..
Woops, yeah, but you get my point. She has the same elements.
Maybe he killed a sibling or pushed his mother down the stairs or something.
What? We must presume he deserved to get disowned, right? Not something handed out casually.

Unless his dad is a dick. There's always that.

Protagonist of Practical Guide to Evil I suspect.
I dunno, I'd think the opposite, really. Lesser beasts are just that, lesser. Animals, though not without potential as Meizhen pointed out. However, a 'peer' beast, and especially a "cunning" one is something quite a bit more likely to already carry that spark of personhood, or at least cleave much closer to the threshold.
And I'm not sure how things being evenly matched has anything to do with Ling Qi's moral comfort. It's not the issue at hand, and she barely cares about it anyway. If she's ready to have a lethal encounter, she's generally not at all concerned with it being a fair one.
