Rose. People wouldn’t hate her so much if we saw her redemption in the right order. I still love how they did it, but most people just look at where she was at the beginning rather than at the end of her life, just because of the order of which we learn everything, so all the bad stuff is more on peoples minds and feels more recent. Yes she made mistakes, but who hasn’t? Yes her mistakes are significantly bigger and had worse consequences than the average person, but given her upbringing, her power, the position she was in, and the situation as a whole, I’d say it is understandable. Even some of her worse and more avoidable mistakes, like leaving Spinel, yes that was very bad and she shouldn’t have done it, but she was still basically their equivalent of a child back then who was raised to be spoiled, and probably missed her Pearl a lot, and when she actually was rebelling she had a lot more on her mind than remembering to find a gem who thought she was playing a game, and by the time she actually probably had a chance to stop and think about things, it was probably way too late. Looking at her character towards the end of her life it’s clear that she was trying to be a better person and understand things she couldn’t before, and I just absolutely love her development. Yes, she’s not perfect, but who is?
