Talk:Starlight Glimmer/@comment-32136229-20150407171244

I've seen a number of people have compared Starlight Glimmer to Amon. However, I haven't seen anyone bring up another example from the Avatar universe to compare Starlight Glimmer to besides Jerry Peet (and yes, I got this idea from him in his Tumblr post, so I didn't come up with it myself; just want to credit him before getting to the comparison).

The Dai Li.

If you're not familiar with it, a quick summary from the Avatar wiki:

"The Dai Li is the secretive and elite police force of Ba Sing Se who work to capture, interrogate, and imprison political dissidents. The organization was founded by Avatar Kyoshi with the aim of "protecting the cultural heritage of Ba Sing Se", effectively protecting the Earth King's interest against subversive individuals and groups."

One of the many secretive things that the Dai Li did is brainwashing a lot of women into become tour guides, welcoming the visitors of Ba Sing Se who all share the same name (Joo Dee) and the same creepy smile. Aside from them having the same names, does this sound familiar?

Thought so.
