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".
Yeah, you could see it that way. Misija was complicated. Definitely a villain for all she had done, but she did have a reason, not a good one (I am tired of the bad and harmful trope of the abused becomes abuser since that happens to like less than 20% of the abuse victims and it's a period of healing from the abuse in which you might act more aggressive towards others, but that is another discussion entirely).

The Bozjan story was weak. It had bad narratives, the interesting characters were sidelined and the Villans were 3 angy people with issues. Somehow we learn more about the Viera Lilja than we do about any of the Hrothgar, even the leader got less development than Lilja and Makoto. The leader should have been the one who should have taken the most active role and yet he was sidelined.

And this was a trend through Shadowbringers, all Hrothgars that we meet with the exception of 2 (Runar and Bragi) are depressed the rest are either in pain from losing all their loved ones or are in war or have been tortured. The Hrothgars in the game have been treated badly and I just wish something nice would happen to them already.

Back on topic: If they will add some female Hrothgar NPC I hope they will be taking an active role in the story and be interesting. I would like them to be given the same amount of importance as Yugiri and Fran were given in their narrative introductions.
