From her perspective the Empire was oppressive, but it was a necessary evil in a way. Putting a different light on her. If you had to choose between your tormentor and a strict regime which would you choose? Both options suck, but one of them sucks less. That is why I wouldn't want her to be a Female Hrothgar, it would muddle the story and lessen the impact.

Except she wasnt a good person. Good people do not say "if you fight oppression you're as bad as your oppressor" (which she says to Marsak when he points out Garleans are slaughtering native bozjans). Good people do not cackle like hyenas when they rob people seeking freedom of their minds and wills, as she did when she tempered the Blades. And her story was not interesting because it was just a shit rehash of Fordolas story, and she took focus off the hrothgar. Why were hrothgar even the native race of Bozja when the story about Bozja gives them 0 screentime or shit to do beyond being cannonfodder, honestly the Bozja story was transparently the devs saying "we need hrothgar players to know just how much we hate them. no no not making even 1 femgar model isnt good enough kill em all and make the story all about some shit Eorzean races for the millionth time".
