If she was doing good, she'd be going to the Elysian Fields. I think she's headed to Tartarus.
jonas:
--- Quote ---It's possible that he meant Nemesis, but I really don't think so. Reason being is that if the Outsiders make it inside, ALL of reality is in jeopardy. That would include Hades. It would also include Heaven/Hell. So, she isn't safe from the Enemy if that enemy is nemesis.

They smatter both of them with all kinds of N referencing but they casually refer to TWG as 'the enemy'? Except they aren't trying to save us from TWG i'm sure.

Are you sure? TWG IS the enemy of the fallen angels.
Now, I'm sure that they are trying to save the universe from the Outsiders, but ... 2-birds, 1-stone.
Kindler:
"Enemy" and "Adversary" are often used to refer to Lucifer. Could be that he was sending Deirdre to Hades to prevent punishment from Lucy. Weren't the Fallen crammed into the Coins by Lucy because they were enemies?
Just, you know, throwing out another possible things to muddy the waters.
Avernite:
I have always heard good vs evil is about who you sacrifice.
A) Good (period) will sacrifice parts of the self to improve the bigger picture.
B) Good idealists will sacrifice the self to improve the bigger picture.
C) Evil idealists will sacrifice others to improve the bigger picture.
D) Evil (period) will sacrifice others to improve the self.
Looking this way, Harry has shades of B & C during changes. This puts him below Charity, who seems to hang about more on the B side during Proven Guilty (of course so did Harry during that book).
Deirde in Skin Game is firmly at B, and hence, was better than Harry during Changes.
Nic in Skin Game is firmly at C, and hence is pretty nasty but not the worst. Aurora was here too, if she hadn't been so obviously wrong (we don't know about Nic yet).
Papa Raith seemed to be pretty much at D, as are most of the villains-du-jour (Warlocks, Sells, etcetera).
Category C makes for better villains, because you occassionally wonder if they have a point. Maybe Deirdre or Nicodemus really needed to die to save the world.
