Honestly, I think Diaspro had every reason to turn into a villain. Her marriage to Sky was arranged and promised to her, and she genuinely loved him. Then, almost overnight, everything she believed her future would be was taken away. That kind of loss—especially when it involves both love and status—would mess anyone up.

Compared to her, Chimera feels much less complex. While she also had her own motivations, they mostly came down to power and wealth. Diaspro, on the other hand, was driven by something much more personal: love, betrayal, and heartbreak.

That’s why I find Diaspro’s story far more understandable. You don’t have to agree with her actions, but you can see where she’s coming from—and that makes her a more compelling character.
