Granny: Difference between revisions

Granny is a character who lives on her own at the foot of [[Celeste Mountain]]. She helps [[Madeline]] on her journey towards the [[Summit]] and beyond. She appears in {{ch|Pr|lf=1}}, {{ch|4A|lf=1}} (Start subchapter), {{ch|6A|lf=1}} (Reflection subchapter and the ending cutscene), {{ch|7C|lf=1}}, {{ch|Ep|lf=1}}, {{ch|8A|lf=1}} (Start subchapter), and the end of {{ch|9|lf=1}} (the very start and the very end, {{c|but she is mentioned throughout the whole chapter}}).

The [[bird]] is usually found close to Granny, hinting that they may be somehow bound. {{c|This ends up being one of the key plot points in Chapter 9.}}

Her first conversation with Madeline turns out to be rather negative. After Madeline mentions the collapsed driveway, Granny laughs at her, warning her that she might not be ready, much to Madeline's doubt. Madeline calls her "an old bat" and suggests she seek help, to which Granny only continues laughing.

They don't cross until Chapter 4. There, Granny seems pleased about Madeline getting here healthy and safe. She asks Madeline about Oshiro, and after listening to her story she comments on the pointlessness of her efforts to help him. Maddy interrupts her, saying that Celeste Mountain made both Oshiro and Granny crazy. Granny then shares some of the mountain's capabilities (that it keeps her honest) and wishes Madeline good luck. She shares that she doesn't get too many visitors up there.

In {{ch|6|lf=1}}, Madeline encounters Granny again. Maddy admits she fell and that she gave up. Granny, however, notices she isn't quite over it, and says that she has "never met someone so angry at themself." Granny suggests that Madeline finds Badeline, who made her collapse, and talks to her, since Granny thinks she is scared. Madeline does exactly that, so Granny wishes her good luck. Also, Granny comments about the mountain keeping her vigilant. At the end of this chapter, Granny walks to Madeline and Badeline, who have reconciled, and shows appreciation. Nonetheless, she warns them of the climb's difficulty, but assures them that they can reach the peak.

In the {{ch|Ep|lf=1}}, Madeline walks back to Granny's shack alongside Badeline. Mr. Oshiro and [[Theo]] come there too. Upon greeting the guests, she notes that it's the first time she sees Oshiro outside his hotel, and invites Madeline to bake a strawberry pie. The characters' further reactions depend on the number of strawberries collected so far.

Granny also appears at the end of {{ch|7C}}. Standing on the grass platform, she implores Madeline to take care of herself. Then, she encourages Madeline to go and grab the Crystal Heart. Note that this interaction, like all [[alternate sides]], is not canon.

Between Epilogue and [[Core]], Madeline and Granny kept in touch with one another. On the phone, she told Madeline about the cave that leads to the mountain's center. In the starting cutscene of Core, she is seen guiding Madeline to the cave, where she also has a shack right before the [[Crystal Heart Gate|crystal heart gate]]. Afterward, she warns Madeline about its power once again, and how it will affect her abnormally. She also inquires Maddy about her "other part", theorizing that they fused now, and about Theo. As for herself, she hasn't made any major changes to her lifestyle recently, but she's still strong thanks to the Mountain, and she's not expecting to die anytime soon (situational irony).
