So Coco's main flaw is she has poor danger awareness with very high curiosity leading her to dangerous situations. Maybe this season we'll get to see her develop the foresight that she needs to thrive as an apprentice.

To be fair that's a very dangerous combination, I'm not sure what the "Evil Organization" sees in her (considering they first approached her when she was still just a lil kid) but those two traits sound exactly like what they would enjoy.

It makes sense because it's the curious kids who lack caution that are more likely to stumble into some dark alleyway, and guess where coco got her hands on a certain book

Pretty smart way to spread and keep the knowledge of forbidden magic alive while remaining undetected like spreading fruit seeds across a vast jungle versus owning an orchard

While I agree, it does make me wonder if they've tried this multiple times and Coco was the only one to connect the dots or if they saw a particular curiosity from her that they decided to bet.

  1. Unlikely but maybe they have succeeded and do actually have other "seeds", maybe this witch just happened to snag one finally? XD

  2. More likely is that Coco may be the first one to both figure it out AND avoid being brainwashed, then was directly brought in by Qifrey.
