#Arturia Giallo in Arknights is a good example of this

I frequently find myself exclaiming things along the lines of "I hate this character so much as a person, it's great, they're an amazing character". Or alternatively "Yeah, no, I just hate this character. Not even as a person, they're just a flat narrative device given a voice for some reason because the writers wanted to be edgy". Quality of character and quality of person that a character is are wholly independent.
A character can still be a great character without being a good person.
In fact, some of the best characters are terrible people.
Because a character’s worth should be based on how complex and interesting they are, not their morality if they were real.
#Fandaniel and Zenos in ff14 are good examples of the latter#I'm glad they're out of the story#But the former and what the post is about?#Absolutely amazing when an author pulls it off#Arturia Giallo in Arknights is a good example of this#Absolutely horrid person#I want to see more of her
