I actually agree. Yes she did bad things but we can see the motivation behind it. Lots of reasons stemming from a fear of loss and abandonment. What she sees is an enemy (Ruby being from the church state) bullying her brother, her losing the ML she crushed on since childhood, and even Ruby displacing her position as Ellen's close friend. Yes she has a warped sense but the fear is still real and she has a lot to lose (in her mind). She isn't a villain for the sake of being evil. And that makes her a compelling villain.
hear me out. i actually think that furiana is an interesting character. while she's the typical two-faced "og" FL trope, she's pretty self-aware and intelligent. she's very human in the sense that she genuinely cares about her brother and in that she's flawed. she genuinely sees ruby as a threat because ruby "took" her place, which she invested a lot of effort to get. also, when monsters were breaking loose and ruby and gang were running in the opposite direction as to everyone else who were evacuating, furiana goes "well i'm running away because i actually love myself!"
albeit she's a simple character, idk i think she's interesting and i can't rlly hate her.
