Writing: Character Help Need help with how to write this weird fascist magical child character in my game
So I'm writing this choice-based adventure horror game with a cast of 9 characters that are all meant to be kinda weird in personality and/or backstoey (one of the more normal characters for example saw a woman get squished by a UFO for example)
Theres this one child character I'm writing, for when the cast all meet eachother early in the game, that I really dont know how to write. Shes got a lot on her plate character wise.
She is an Argentinian demigod who is unaware that she is both of these things despite her living in Argentina for the majority of her life and knowing of her supernatural abilities. In addition she is also a fascist as she was raised by a time displaced Hitler who was hoping to use her abilities to take back control of Germany.
In addition to all that weirdness she is also just a legit elementary aged girl so im trying to think of what parts of her should be emphasized and how. Currently I'm thinking of having her act like the stereotypical spooky child but also having her go and act like a normal kid and play tic tac toe with fae or something but thats not really putting the fascist part of her out there which I feel like she needs to have for drama in the group and to make the player somewhat dislike her, but also maybe not too much to where they dont want to immediately sacrifice her when given the chance.
Sorry for being strange but my character is, and thats kind of a problem.
Any advice would be appreciated. And if anyone needs any more info just drop a post!

Why do they need to be a small child?
