i've recently come to realize because of another story with yet another character like rashta that the reason i cannot feel sympathy for her, or any of these awful side chicks, is because they're always put on these pedastals (by their fans) just for having been born into poverty; as if they're inherently better than the nobles because of that and ultimately deserve their lifestyle. when in reality, they're just as shitty and don't deserve shit if all they're going to do is step on people to get to whatever privileges that they desire.
like if rashta wanted to he happy and escape from her shitty circumstances, she could've worked with navier (probably?) to get the resources she needed to stand on her own two feet before leaving to somewhere far away. i mean, it makes sense why she wouldn't/couldn't have thought that far, but i think even as an uneducated & poor person, i wouldn't have thought that nobility of all places would be my salvation—especially not if you're seeking to be the emperor's side chick turned wife of all things.
