>poor storytelling
In a discussion why lupa, the character only shown gladiating as entertainment uses a clearly for show moveset when you play her non canonically against TDs. Even the boss she fights canonically in game she makes it like a gladiator fight rather than a kill or be killed fight. I think you're the one who doesn't understand lupa.
>but all septimontians...
Lupa isn't the average septimontian and the story makes it clear, she respects hard work, she understand other people's emotions, she feels pain for those marked as weak and she loves honor rather than strength. She also faces the house system directly, breaking the most fundamental traditions.
