Her redemption arc isnt even redemption arc at all. She doesnt change. She wouldn't come to the MC and admited to everything if her brother didnt die and being used. She didnt 'help' the MC it was mutual agreement because she have something to gain too.
Can't seem to like Mechina as a whole, and giving her a redemption arc is kind of a slap in the face. Yes she was following the demands of her parents, and I will accept that prior to her academy-days. During her academy days, however, she CHOSE to feed information to a known enemy. FL could've died through her citron allergy!!
Again, yes, her family was being used as proxy, I GET IT!
Though it really puts a bad taste when someone is out attempting murder so openly just so that 'someone' gain their greed. Honestly, this could've been a friendly rivalry between the ladies, but it's the parents wanting more than they handle. This is why guidance is IMPORTANT, and i'm not saying parents in general, but the people in that household.
I don't like Mechina and probably won't throughout the series, but as long as she stays in her lane that's fine. Her choices are not my liking, but it is what it is. I'm not looking for faults here, but just saying I don't like her character.
