You're looking at this all wrong. Her being a bad guy isn't because she's gay, it's because she feels hurt and betrayed by someone she cared very deeply about. Someone who ignored her feelings, ran off with someone else, and then abandoned the cause altogether.

This would not change if Blake was a guy, or if Ilia was. Her sexuality is not the cause of her place in the story.

She was a teenager, vulnerable, afraid, and likely traumatized after her parents died and her so-called friends laughed about it. She found someone she thought understood her, she developed feelings for them, and they turned their back on her.

Whether she turns good only time will tell, but from wtaching her actions it is abundantly clear she doesn't want any of this to be happening.

Unlike Adam who is a violent sociopath and incredibly dangerous, Ilia is effectively a scared little girl with nowhere else to go, staying loyal to a faction which has gone bad because it's the only home she has left.
