Yente is the worst.
Not optically, she's a beauty, or in bloodlines, those are basically royal, hence the name.
But she does not live up to her ancestors. She may have inherited the looks, but she definitely did not inherit the skill.
She talks about it like it's not a big deal, but she is highly aware and bothered by her faults and deals with her insecurities the way many people do - she became a gossip and a bully. Which lost her any friends she still had, making her become even more insecure.
People avoid this teal-eyed beauty whose scathing comments are as vicious as the results on the scoring board of her driving competitions.
Deep down she knows it's wrong what she is doing, but she can't help herself. Only when she talks down on others does she ever feel like she's not a failure.
People do not draw the connection, do not see the reason why she does it. It doesn't excuse her behavior of course, but it would make them realize that she is salvageable.
Only when she is alone with other animals or humans who don't understand her, she sometimes finds herself opening up to them about her insecurities.
Her biggest fear, but at the same time also her biggest dream, is for one of them to understand what she is saying, and for them to tell her that she is enough and that these results do not define her.
Until then... She's "Bully-Yente".
