Since this thread is off-course anyway...

In other words, she would look more like an hypocrite. IMO, it would go like this: First, she practically keeps stabbing herself in her depression and guilt, then something happens and she starts to regain her resolve and stop her self-deprecation, and eventually she creates a counter-group to oppose the WF while promoting equality. I'm not too clear on the hypocrite bit, it's not like she's saying all fighting is bad, just that mindlessly killing people and bringing Grimm into the city isn't helping their cause. I think she'd argue that fighting actual oppressors would be justifiable, but that their current methods aren't actually working towards any goal, they're just spreading more hate and distrust.

I do think she'd be mopey for a while, but hopefully that happens off-screen. I think we'll have enough of that from Yang's storyline. Creating a counter group (Black Fang? lol) or recruiting from within the WF to create a splinter group, either works, I think.
