Fair enough. I was going on such a role I forgot where we were posting.... My apologies. Thanks for the nice evaluation. I wasn't going to have her interact with the characters themselves unless promptly told to by either Latios or Ember, assuming she's accepted as an Arc Villain of course.
I do like her as a character, and would like to see her as an antagonist in a later arc, but it is a joint decision between Latios and myself. And I do agree with Grieve Writer on establishing relations, that is in fact the plan for this arc really, and a but of filler before the next arc.
Looking her over again, I suppose she could make for an occasional rival type that two or three characters could battle against at a time. But due to her glass cannon nature, it would make sense thematically for her to at least reach Arc Villain status before she's able to enter a true redemption arc. That way consistent conflict with her could more naturally develop interactions between her and the cast while also allowing some build up for the organization that's controlling her. None of the cast would have a clear understanding of what her deal is until the pieces come together after several encounters.
Perhaps at that point something can occur with the organization or something wrong in the experiment or something that powers her up to Arc-Villain status, even if it's only for a bit. It's all to make sure the audience isn't too overwhelmed having to get used to both the heroes and first major opponent at the same time.
