Has Mab become something more? [CD Spoilers]
Ms Duck:

But, what I was asking was in response to Ms Duck's statement - - whether Mab, because of her purpose guarding the Gate, should be considered heroic if she dies pursuing that purpose?

--absolutely.
its a WAG, but I think Mab is going to die soon and she knows it. Molly was not intended to be the next winter lady; Molly is intended to be the next winter queen.
that, and arguments about 'good and evil' when dealing with gods tends to be a bit mushy, IMO. it all comes down to the person's perspective, and the person's opinion...

According to various anthropocentric definitions, yes, she is definitely evil. She is likely heretical too, depending on your religious viewpoint.

gray hero...like Batman or Green archer.
Green arrow new tv show...
A anime that is like this is called aesthetic of a rogue hero here is a trailer for the anime if anyone wants to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E33-a0MQHC8
Anyway how to deal with Mab is like dealing with anyone that has power...you go in with a calm mind and try to make a deal/make your case...if she wants you dead or out of the job there is nothing u can do.

Oh Hollorr, I am so not cool. DF is my first fandom obsession in many moons... (I have seen Batman and enjoy Green Arrow, but am a strictly a viewer - no deep meanings.)
It would be easier for me to consider a Mab a hero for sacrificing her life and saving mankind, if saving mankind mattered to her. I think if she needed the dead bodies of every man, woman and child on Earth in order to fulfill her purpose, she wouldn't blink an eye. I don't think her nature includes any protective impulses for mortals, so saving them might be a by-product of her possible life-sacrifice, but isn't the goal.
Duncan Cain:
Mab has an important job, keeping Outsiders on the other side of the Gate. The best way to do that is to be totally pragmatic and not let emotions sway her decisions. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I wouldn’t like to face an Outsider. Even one of the lesser ones (He Who Walks With His Foot Up My Behind??). Even Harry’s opinion of Mab has changed since he realized her purpose.
