Saya's pretty horrible but her situation (sold to the group attempting the genocide of her people, trying desperately to prevent it) is sympathetic. Her disdain for the human people is totally understandable.
Fuck consort huan for mutilitating qingqyan but honestly im on her side when it comes to hating the humans and wanting to gain power to save her country. At the end of the day she did not do it for a vain reason like a crush on the emperor or something.. she trained her whole life in multiple arts and skills to save her own people and in that way she is very admirable.. I respect her.
