and how come we are ordered around by a little boy?

Bad take, not sure how anyone could find Alisaie unlikeable. Especially after the coil story, and seeing her beat up Alphinaud on a regular basis.

Female characters getting away with attacking men for no reason is a dull, uninspired trope. It's a real shame we didn't get to peel her shattered remains off of the floor after she was flung through the air by a certain character at the end of Shadowbringers. It would have been a fitting end to a character that, unlike her sibling, hasn't gone through any meaningful character development or evolution. A point which she herself highlighted, in fact.
