Aranea should've been a permanent part of the cast. If she got the ring of life before Vriska corrupted her into a manipulative villain (even though her motivation was just (Aranea did nothing wrong)), she wouldn't've gone evil and would've been WAAAAAY more helpful then Vriska was. Anything Vriska can do Aranea can do, but just better. All hail Kindfang I love her so much
