A unique psychopathology affecting, in particular, bourgeoisie Indian women of Bihari ethnicity. The affliction is characterized by a deep-seated belief in pagan Hindu deities; an inherent yearning to sacrifice self-interests for familial wellbeing; a recurring attitude of ethical superiority; and an affinity to equate one’s actions with the doctrine of divine sanctity. A subgenre of desi-feminism, Devi-complex manifests as a function of a conservative culture, an increasingly prejudiced and orthodox media, and an obnoxious society that collectively objectifies womanhood by contextualizing it to the extreme ends of the morality spectrum. Overall, this pervasive disorder undermines the interests of Indian women by rendering them vulnerable to psychoemotional manipulation.
Ma always said that all she ever needed from life was to watch her son be happy; an extreme case of Devi-complex, indeed.

They use the people around them as puppets, manipulating others into playing the roles they want them to play. They turn people against each other and enjoy every second of it. This person views everything as a game and nothing makes them happier than to watch everything fall apart and know that they did it all.

Both siblings are considered highly attractive by the majority of their peers, and:
The age difference between the siblings is relatively small.
The strength of the Catalano Complex between two siblings has a positive correlation with the siblings' average attractiveness and has a negative correlation with their difference in age. This is due to the following reasons:
There would likely be less sexual attraction between the siblings if one or both were generally considered
unattractive, and:
