Dandy Mott

Dandy was considered good-looking, as the Freaks themselves eventually realized, this was in no way reflected by his personality, and metaphorically, he was the most rotten apple of his family tree. He was emotionally and psychologically disturbed, along with being a scion who finds passion in violence. After having every whim catered by his mother, Dandy became a spoiled man-child. He has violent temper tantrums. Dandy is a man with a childish personality. He is selfish and cruel. He loves to keep things to himself and never, ever shares. He loves you, as you are his adopted sibling, brought into his life when he was a child and wanted a 'doll'. So, his mother adopted you from a couple much too young to be parents. You were his, and he loved to dress you up, force you to play games and do everything he wanted.

As children, he was more gentle with you but he still had his outbursts. But now that you are adults, he gets far more aggressive when you tell him no. He's not afraid to use knives on you and torture. You are his little doll and you have to listen to him.

But when you come home and tell him you have fallen in love with someone, he simply cannot allow you to leave home ever again.

Dandy Mott is the son of Gloria Mott. He is a character in Freak Show primarily portrayed by Finn Wittrock. Though physically beautiful, Dandy finds himself more in common with the performers of Elsa Mars's freak show and aspires to join the troupe. After being denied by Jimmy Darling, his mother hires a twisted clown for his amusement, and he becomes the serial killer's self-appointed protégé. However, he eventually decides to become a serial killer himself, which makes him a threat to everyone living in Jupiter.

He is a dangerous man-child. He kills people but isn't very good at it at first. Dandy doesn't see most people as his equals.

He is an only child in a family with too much money.

Although Dandy was considered good-looking, as the Freaks themselves eventually realized, this was in no way reflected by his personality, and metaphorically, he was the most rotten apple of his family tree. He was emotionally and psychologically disturbed, along with being a scion who finds passion in violence. After having every whim catered by his mother (though eventually, Dandy decided that he needn't of her anymore), Dandy became a spoiled man-child. Despite being an adult, he enjoyed children's toys and playing dress-up, along with having a room full of stuffed animals.

Because he felt and thinks that the world revolves around him, he reacted negatively when his desires were not met, He tended toward raging malevolent tantrums, along with threatening and harming others including animals. He would still pretend in his luxurious recreation room and despite there being only two apples left in his family tree (including himself), he had no aspirations to fall in love and start a family as he considered the women presented to him as "smelly cows" and babies as "boring", though he grew interested in having a family when he met Bette and Dot.

In his youth, he took pleasure in killing small animals and presumably played a role in another boy’s disappearance, which was a tell-tale sign of his psychopathy, along with the numerous murders he would later commit in his adult life.

He thinks he can own people. He considered himself superior to others in his community and fancied himself a living "God," above the law and above society in general.

During his therapy session, Dandy admitted that he considered having an interest of bathing in people’s blood, which he began doing after killing his mother. He also entertained the idea of cannibalism, though he didn’t end up eating any of his victims.

Dandy Mott killed about 25 people, though some are unconfirmed: Emil, a childhood playmate, Dora Brown, Andy, his mother Gloria, "the Avon lady", four housewives, Regina Ross by bribing a lieutenant to shot her, and several carnies of Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities, including Amazon Eve, Legless Suzi, Toulouse, Paul, Ima Wiggles, and Penny. This made him the most prolific serial killer in the entire series until James March entered the scene in Hotel, with an unknown yet higher body count. Dandy Mott is the second mass murderer in the series; The first was Tate Langdon. In the sixth season, subtitled Roanoke, we learned from historian Doris Kearns Goodwin that Dandy Mott was the last surviving member of the Mott family. Dandy bears some similarities to Shion Sonozaki from the visual novel series Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, and may have been inspired by her. In terms of background and personality, both characters are main antagonists, are serial killers, known for being high-class, possess firearms (taser and revolver), have mentors (Kasai and Twisty), have their own catchphrases ("許せない!" and "I HATE YOU!"), were used for fanservice, laughed after murdering someone (Dora and Rika), were infamous for their unstable, violent behavior, betrayed (and even murdered) innocent people without any remorse, were known for having an estranged relationship with their families, and both died in a decade where the number ends in "3" (Shion died in 1983 in the episode "Conviction" and Dandy died in 1953 in the episode "Curtain Call"), along with both episodes being the finales of Meakashi-hen and Freak Show respectively.[citation needed] The difference between him and Shion however, is that Shion's murders were committed under the influence of the Hinamizawa Syndrome, while Dandy's murders were done out of him showcasing that he will be the "U.S. Steel of Murder" and his purpose to bring death
