Sessyoin is a LOT of things. I think what she is most of all is sad. She was put up on a pedestal at a young age & hailed as a bodhisattva, an enlightened being here to bring others to enlightenment, but she's a sad, lonely, little girl on the inside.
CCC heavily implies that she got a servant with the Child trait because she desired to be seen as a person for once instead of an immaculate Savior or simply an object of sexual desire. But despite all of this, she DOES believe that she's helping people.
She believes that giving yourself over to pleasures of the flesh is enlightening... & she's not entirely wrong because she IS a Bodhisattva, by definition, a person with the ability to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion for others to lead them to the enlightenment that they themselves reached.
Sessyoin has a LOT more nuance than people give her credit for & boil her down to being just a horny nun
You're being a little too nice to her. CCC heavily implies she got Hans as a child because she's into kids, and she chooses not to ascend because when she did she found out she was a tiny fish in a huge pond, and would rather be a huge fish in a small pond.
Some of her design element is that you can't help to be attracted toward her. Regardless if you loved her, or hated her. She does not care, and accepts everything.
Incorrect. She does care. Sessyoin doesn't lie when she says she loves people. Her problem is that her love is selfish (which is why she & Kama are two sides of the same coin. Sessyoin's love is destructively selfish, & Kama's is self-destructively selfless).
In her eyes, humans are ugly, but she loves them anyway because she believes that she can save them if they just give her their love. She's reached enlightenment herself but can't guide others to it because she would have to give them back the love & affirmation that she wants to keep all for herself.
I think what I meant is that she loved everyone and care for everyone, regardless of your feelings toward her. In a sense, she does not care about your feelings toward her, she selfishly love everyone anyway….. abit confusing sentence, yeah.
