So Was Ysayle A Warrior Of Light?

I agree with most you said. Ysayle possessing at least a Crystal of Light and the quote she said after we defeated her primal form are proofs that she has met Hydaelyn, and she has done something great enough that Hydaelyn saw her fit to be one of those worthy to hold a Crystal of Light. Like us, she too was Hydaelyn's chosen.

But, as far as I recall, Hydaelyn never calls us Warrior of Light.

The term Warrior of Light is made by men, in honor to those brave warriors who fought to prevent the descent of Dalamud. Only men and Ascians (though in apparently mocking manner) call us with that title.

So in my opinion, Ysayle was, in Hydaelyn's eyes, just the same as WoL, her champions to battle Darkness and had the potential to be seen by people as another Warrior of Light. But because she once fought against us and collaberated with Ascians (likely because Ysayle never got details of who the enemy is before Hydaelyn's silent), no one but probably her followers saw her as WoL.
