Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone thinks Andra is evil? I posted part of my theory before in her page, but was referred to here.

So Andra always struck me as strange. First is that the capital was not her center of power. To me that is weird for simply reason that she is the High Priestess of Yhilin, not Saria, so it should be the other way. There must be a reason beyond religion for her not to be based there, because Saria has swallow her prejudice and bais of being Pius in the name of her belief and faith in other to be a High Priestess, and you are telling that Andra can't do that?

Second is the Unpeople. The suspicion of that something is going wrong with them comes from Yhilin, which still hasn't gone away even if the forge is back under control. An example is that when we busted to the warehouse at the end of the invasion there were powerful Unpeople there. This means that the Lady behind the coups needed a deep connection with the church to even know that the program was still ongoing, and Andra has a deep connection with the Unpeople as shown with what happens if the motion to make more is passed. She actively uses them more so than normal from what I gather, as if she is used to.

Furthermore, the coups themselves are suspicious in their scope while remaining hidden, even from the Inquisition which Saria has ties to from what we know. Especially the last one, which makes little to no sense, a desperate move from a faction that should be fracture and putting itself together, not having the leadership to feel desperate. With the fact that Andra has left the church, rather than rant, means she had cards left to play, and leads to believe that she is involved in the other power grabs, and this one was her last one that she could do for a while. Personally, I would have waited after the war so that Yhilin and the other countries were exhausted and would have accepted another change in leadership more easily rather than in the middle of a war when your target was in high alert, along with being prepared. This is why I call it a desperate move.

Third is the Inquisition itself when it comes to Andra, along with her Chosen. They were an effective force as far as we are concerned story wise, except Andra's. In the eternal words of Minister Fudge, "We must be seen doing something!" And that's what Andra's Inquisition motto is, they have only been seen doing shit. An example is the magic cult. Aka read a poster, talked to a resident of the slum, incidently where the Inquisition was apparently in force harassing people, and looked for a guy that looks suspicious to advertise that he is a smuggler, and then found the cult, all while the Inquisition was busy staring at a empty tower that looked creepy? All from the same Inquisition that has members like Simon, Saria, Carina and in part Vhalla? That smells of bullshit to from so far away that I always found it weird.

The other example is the Chosen, because he is not there to train to fight the Incubus King, he is not there to build a harem, he is not there on some epic quest according to his perspective, he is there to guard the High Priestess of Yhilin, because that the only job he has to complain about. Again, this smells of bullshit from so far away that I find it hilarious that no one in the story found weird that he never did anything else.

Finally is the fact that Saria at first thought that Andra's personality was fake like her own. Takes one to know one. That Saria is no longer suspicious rings to me that Andra is not just faking her personality, but her motives for being part of the church, and that she knows that if Saria found about her, that she would like the results simple because she is very very devout to Ivala, something that Andra most likely doesn't care about, given that she left, which is suspicious in two ways. That she had the resources to do so, and that she was willing to. If her personality was real, she should have been rating to anyone sympathetic, and not, about the evils and heresy of the Doom King. She is not, she cut her loses and left, a pragmatic move from a person who should be a Fanatical Zealot, and someone like that wouldn't sink to the shadows so that their message wasn't heard if they were as neutralize as Andra was.

So what do guys and gals think? Does this make sense? Or an I barking at the wrong tree?
