She's not heartless. As commendable as it is that she values the lives of her friends over her own, it doesn't exactly open the floodgates. Y'shtola's stoicism is a good contrast to Alisaie, who allows herself to be overwhelmed by her own emotions. It's been pretty consistent throughout the expansions, which is probably why some feel she has had very little character growth.
It could be an ace that the dev just hasn't used yet. At this point, if something happened that was so joyous that Y'shtola had to excuse herself because she knows she's going to break down in tears and the viewer gets to witness it; the impact of that cutscene would be something else. Thing is, if the conclusion of EW couldn't do that, then I don't know what will. Even just a tear, that would have expressed a profound relief that the WoL survived their injuries. That was the perfect opportunity for the writers to use said ace card.
Assertive as opposed to what? When was she ever... not assertive? Mature? She rejected a certain Au'ra's advances in the most savage way possible(The Burn Savage). A more mature lady would have rejected him in a more compassionate manner, even if he did deserve to be knocked down a peg.
Lyse had a whole expansion devoted to her. She's a polarizing character that people either like or dislike. She's like the complete opposite of Y'shtola. She's impulsive, emotional, and has been shown to make mistakes frequently.
Unfortunately, Papy was kind of thrown away for Lyse's development. Minfilia was a pretty boring character as well who I feel emotionally and mentally remained the same throughout, but I don't have to deal with her anymore.
Lyse, Papy, and Minfilia are either largely out of the story or out altogether.
Y'shtola has shown the barest hint of having emotions and only in the most extreme situations. Sorry but I don't consider 'Lyse, Run!' or 'Such infernal strength!' some kind of emotional epiphany.
You leave my sassy cat witch alone.
