Okay when I first read this, I lowk jumped on the "trashta" bandwagon just cuz it was popualr, and I'll be honest she was kind of annoying in some aspects. HOWEVER, once you actually take a step back and form your own opinion, it's so clear that she was the true victim. When you take her backstory (the trauma of being presented with a dead baby and being told its hers, being enslaved since she was a child) and then her reality (being hated by the empress whom she grew up hearing "loved everyone", being treated as stupid and less than just because she never got a formal education - bro, she was a slave) it makes so much sense why she was the way she was.
I honestly think that the writer of the novel made Rashta crazier near the end so they could justify her dying lol. Juxtaposed to the heroine Navier who is "perfect" in all aspects (apparently..i suppose) the reader isn't supposed to like Rashta, but if you take the basic facts about her into consideration what even makes her unlikebale?? Can you even blame her for being insecure, all she has to rely on is Sovieshu's love for her - all her actions are out of desperation. I mean, if you got the taste of living in luxury would you not also be stressed out if the possibility of going back to the lowest point ever.
THE craziest thing in my opinion is that if you think about it, (I know the timeline of the manhwa is kinda shit) but by what we're presented with all the drama happens all in the span of a few months (this is because Rashta's pregnant the whole time and has her baby when she's already "crazy") so you're telling me she goes from cute, naive and nice to batshit crazy in the span of like...7 months. Yeah ok.. Not saying it's impossible but its just BS.
People think of Rashta as the person who "seduced sovieshu and made Navier sad :(((" BOO FLIPPING HOO. She got her leg stuck in his stupid bear trap while RUNNING AWAY FROM E N S L A V E M E N T. Is it her fault she was so beautiful he fell in love? Not to mention when she first arrived she wanted to get close to Navier. Did Navier have to be so rude about being called 'sister', like bro get a damn grip - you know this girl is just young and naive, not everyone has the stoic genetic makeup you have.
Justice for Rashta bro. I could say so much more tbh
