I was thinking about Ajani and Elspeth and was like "what does he see in her" and then I was like "duh, he's empathic; he sees the good in her she doesn't think exists."
And now I'm like "Awwwwww, he can see the good in her she doesn't think exists."
That is one trait about Elspeth that I really don't like. She's constantly blaming herself for surviving her childhood or failing to stop planar level disasters. It also has me kinda pissed that she wound up heading into the doomed Mirrordin, as she already had traumas about the Pherexians, and I'm not sure she'll ever have a good chance of recovering from them now, since she probably blames herself for failing to save Mirrodin as well and basically sees herself as just as bad as the Pherexians for what she did in her childhood to survive them, and she failed what she probably sees as her one redemption chance, and didn't even get to go out in a blaze of glory like she thinks Koth did (it isn't clear that anyone specific except Venser actually died).
Having Ashiok nearby up to nightmare shennanigans can't be good for her either, or Theros, as given the weird magic Elspeth has been exposed to, including the immunity to the glistening oil she has been granted, there is a decent chance that her nightmares-made-real would actually have a decent chance of infecting Theros with the oil, and even if not that, it certainly can't help her recover from her recent traumas.
And then right after the victory party she helped with she gets blamed for no apparent reason for frikkin Xenagos.
I have a feeling they are either using her as an eternally unlucky woobie, or they plan on having her go Aribeth and turn into dark Elspeth being all 'evil' and **** because being good has constantly 'backfired' on her and now she wants revenge on the multiverse or something.
