Might have been able to save somebody.

    No one needed super powers to tell her step parents to go to hell or report them for abusing that child. Hell the entire village shaming them or if that one Garlen solider had come back and made good on his threat would have been enough. The guy who became her pimp could of said "I'm not letting you use her to repay your debts she clearly not cut out for this life." Or he could of taken her in and not pimped her out just getting her away from her clearly abusive parents. But he said "Look how hot she is I can't NOT let my clients run a train on her."

    Her abuse of the Doman people is simply payback in the same manner she was treated. They all have to look at each other as they go through all the crap she puts them through. Them begging for help from their neighbors as their on the ground suffer and have to watch as those same friends and family ignore them in their hour of need. Yea of course if they actually tried to help they'd get punished or killed but that's not the point for her.
    Once again, you seem conflicted.
    First you say the Domans had the power to help Yotsuyu, but at the end you said they don’t.

    Firstly, report abuse? To who, the Garleans?
    You are demanding a lot out of a people living under brutal occupation.
    And the soldier is exactly that - a soldier. He can’t be expected to stand guard over Yotsuyu 24/7.

    Secondly, why would a pimp/mama care who works in the brothel?
    In the world of the downtrodden, it’s eat or be eaten.
    You are applying standards from those with means to those without.

    The Domans were all individually suffering under their own circumstances.
    Though she may have been especially misfortunate, Yotsuyu lamented her fate by blaming everyone else around her.
