So this is probably out there in terms of speculation, but has anyone put forth an 'Uyae is secretly a villain' theory yet?

I first thought of this with the preistess in Fenerholm that is terrible with purity checks. She says a lot of silly things like how Simon is pure despite the shard or that Robin is uncorrupted by the hands of men even after she hooks up with Simon. And the party members make jokes at her expense. And yet from our perspective Simon is a good person etc etc. So what if the preistess is not just a joke character whose bad at her job but instead has some trascendant foresight that not even she understands? Because the one member of Simon's party she calls out as a 'vile temptress' is Uyae.

It's a stretch, but theres a few more things. Remember Simon being called out for being the Doom King by Ardoheim in the 3rd Arclent War? Uyae is the last person to join the party and learn the truth before that confrontation. Maybe she is leaking information to trying and undermine Simon.

Also, I could be forgetting something here, but isn't Zirantia the only place that on Arclent that the Chosen do not appear? There's no Shining Swords there either. What if Uyae is involved with or directly responsible for the Chosen, using them to sow chaos in the rest of Arclent other than Zirantia?

I'm can only speculate on motives, but when Uyae joined she was very insistent on meeting Simon and latching on to him. What if it was all a ruse to infiltrate his inner circle?

I know there's not a lot there, and what is there is very circumstantial, but I think it's at least interesting. If I had to bet I would bet on Uyae just being another harem member, but I think secret villain Uyae is interesting too.
