Savathun is not evil (SPOILERS)

I just replayed the 1st mission again and noticing the dialogue. Considering we know now that Savathun had her memories erased, probably had her Hive followers remember some about they're relationship-- they were their version of "The Last City". On first meeting, we killed the Hive guardian (probably no worries) but then [b]we killed the Hive ghost[/b]. And Savathun was referring to us as "honored guests" and not as usual 'guardians' but at the same time I think [b]she had sensed some Darkness in us[/b] because of Stasis and so we were strangers to her that came and attacked her people and killed a ghost-- something that "mirrors us" she said. These [b]Lucent Hive were pure Light[/b] already and we were half Light half Dark. . We have to keep in mind [u][b]Savathun was basically "reset" into a fresh new guardian[/b][/u] and she wasn't who she was before and during season of the lost (much like Crow). Despite how devious Savathun's personality seems, she's still like a good leader supposedly trying to protect her people and the Traveler. I think in their eyes (and even objectively) we were the 'bad guys' in this one.

    She wasn’t a full reset. Considering when we first encounter her, she’s talking about stuff she would have forgotten and following her old plan. I believe the assumption, or perhaps lore, is that she left the broad strokes of who she was and her plans with some trustworthy characters like hive wizards and such. So when she “reset” they were ordered to fill her in on who she was, and what she wanted to do. And then just went through the motions of being evil until you helped restore her more specific memories. That being said. She may exist in a shade of grey instead of purely good or evil. Especially now that she’s even more angry at the darkness than she was before she realized she was tricked. But it’s hard to call her historical “good”. As for a long time, in order to survive and not be in pain she had her minions kill intelligent life forms by the millions to feed her worm in the hives twisted pyramid scheme existence.
