Maybe she wouldn't have to do anything to foster the necessary rage Catra would need to kill Adora; it seemed like Catra's wonderfully fractured mind was doing all the work for her. Shadow Weaver found herself unbelievably smug that she'd managed to mold Catra into being this easy to use, that she unintentionally given her so many weaknesses to prey on. Shadow Weaver had kept Catra around in the beginning because of Adora's insistence, and because she was afraid of what Adora might think if she disposed of the feline, of what she might realize. Adora finding Catra in the first place was an unfortunate and unexpected complication.
Honestly, she had never had a particular interest in either of the girls, only willing to extend enough goodwill to Adora to keep her under her control so she could someday use her power for herself. Admittedly, she had grown so proud of her own completely manipulation of Adora that feigning affection for her was fairly easy as it stroked her own ego, but Catra...
Shadow Weaver had never had much opinion on Catra either way. Her stubbornness and quick wit made her impossible to control without forcing her to depend on Adora, and for that she resented her. Not to mention she reminded her so much of a young Light Spinner that she projected much of her own regret onto her and punished her much more often than was necessary as a result; there was something cathartic about it. But Catra was proving to be an unexpected asset. Maybe she truly had made a miscalculation in disregarding her potential. Someone so unstable could be dangerous. That instability was proving to be an effective weapon.
"As soon as it is done, there will be no limit to what we can accomplish. You must be tired of Adora dictating what you can and can't do. The time has come for you to move forward on your own terms. Adora and Hordak will not stand in the way anymore. Soon, you will have everything you want."
