    Default Serini is definitely Good because...

    ...her underground lair is a pleasant place with many well cared for houseplants. A whole bunch of them. Hanging plants. Some nice shrubs. A few planters with rows of flowers. And some substantial dwarf trees. A good variety of specimens.

    Albeit this is the kind of pleasant place with chains on the wall for prisoners.

    I wholeheartedly agree. People who take good care of their plants are Good people indeed.

    And there isn't a carnivorous plant in sight which are associated with evilness for some reason.

    Ah yes, of course. I'm glad there isn't a well-known class highly associated with plants and also restricted to another alignment (say, Neutral perhaps) which could offer another explanation.
    It would certainly throw a wrench into this theory if that was the case.

    I'd also note that someone could be evil and still have a desire to aid the good characters depending on their personal interests. Almost fits a theme for the comic.

    You people don't seem to understand. The rules are wrong. People who like planties are Good, and people who don't are not.

    An excellent question! You know those folks who are Neutral but Good-leaning (or Good but Neutral-leaning)? That's them. Unless of course they hate the other plants. In that case they are not Good at all, but still show signs of being perhaps redeemable.

    There are Evil plant-lovers.
    They cultivate plants like kale and quinoa and then eat them. And then these vegetarians go around trying to make other people participate in their horrible rituals by using body-shaming and false claims such as environmental sustainability and health benefits.

    There are three great conflicts in this world.

    First is between the forces of Good and Evil, as exemplified by the angels' and fiends' opposing goals of purification and corruption.
    Second is between the forces of Law and Chaos-- the war between order and entropy, between devils and demons.
    The third is perhaps the most important of all: the battle between the forces of Plant and Dwarf.

    mushrooms aren't plants though (they alongside things like mold fall inbetween plants and animals as a category)

    "Vegetarian" doesn't mean "healthy". Cheese pizza is vegetarian. Fries, potato chips, tons of things for people who don't enjoy qinuoa or kale.

    You know what’s yummy? Quinoa and kale mixed together. There’s a recipe for “southwestern kale power salad” on the Cookie and Kate website with Kale, Quinoa, and black beans that try to always keep a bowl of in my fridge.

    (Well, sort of. Lots and lots of substitutions. I don’t think I’ve ever actually followed the recipe. But always salt, kale, quinoa, black beans, plus whatever dressing and additions looks good this week.)

    Ironically there was a Dragon magazine April fool article about a Planescape faction that had this almost exact attitude

    cool Re: Serini is definitely Good because...

    How do you keep indoor plants from dying in a room with no windows and no electric lighting? Even if there are magical lights, which are shown nowhere, how do these lights emit a wavelength which chlorophyll can absorb? Looks like another major-league continuity error. Serini would have to cast sunburst continually, and she's not even a spellcaster!
    How to turn off these annoying .sigs:

    1. Edit your profile options.
    2. Scroll down to "Visible Post Elements".
    3. Uncheck "Show Signatures".
    4. Save changes.
    5. Enjoy a much less cluttered and noisy forum.

    The daylight spell should do it. Even if it doesn’t, there’s probably a medium-tier magical item for that.

    What's this pro-plant propaganda?
    Plants managed to genocide almost all life on Earth with deadly oxygen! We literally are mutants evolved to survive in this post-apocalyptic oxidizing hellscape.
    The dwarves are Good people, the only ones who at least partially preserved the memory of who is the enemy of all life.

    I really don't like putting anything in signatures, but Shoreward's comic deserves it.

    Now, you must stop spreading ugly lies and slandering all those nice planties!
    First of all, cyanobacteria were responsible for the Great Oxygenation event and cyanobacteria are not planties. They are funny blue prokaryotes.
    Planties evolved a lot later to keep us all alive and how do those horrible scumbag Evil dwarves repay them for this? By trying to kill them all (which would also kill the dwarves, but these Chaotic Evil monstrosities care little about that)!
    Planties are Good and those who like them are also Good. Planties are life! Dwarves are death! Death to the dwarves!

    My wife agrees. She makes a dish with those two and chunks of chicken, and onions. Quite nice. I make black bean chili every year (during Lent) that is vegetarian: no meat. I have had a few people marvel that there isn't meat in it, based on the texture and taste. I am pretty sure that it's on our menu for next week, based on my wife's plans.
