if you become what noted sociopath Saphira considers to be a "better person".

Aka: someone who kisses her mast--ahem Rider's ass.


she was horrible pretty much from day one

Oh, yes. She was. Which pains me because she would have been such a better character if only people did react accordingly to her flaws. If everyone hated her and her Rider for this and so it forced her to pull her head off her ass and actually grow. But nope. The narration tries to push down our throats how beautiful and perfect she is.

Goddammit. I keep thinking that Saphira is just a plain and bad version of Sintara, if you know who Sintara is.
