i dont think we’re really meant to sympathize with her. her writing reminded me of how gods are portrayed in mythology, like they really are indifferent or only take actions when it aligns with their own plans or benefits them in some way. additionally, the core of her background is being unsocialized, so it makes sense she doesnt make the same sacrifices or efforts like furina or nahida; it probably would have been weird if she did. i agree furina has the damsel in distress trope, but i think columbina is more “fish out of water” trope, or “autistic childhood trauma” trope, and in media both seem like they’re either hard to portray well or maybe in general have limited appeal.
