To be fair, she's really unlikable in 8-4's script. She's much more ego driven and snarky. It's heavily implied that she doesn't give much of a shit about anybody but herself because they keep changing lines like:
>if my comrades wish it
>for my people
>it is for our benefit
into
>I want it
>for myself
etc.
Like, her snide remark towards Gunvolt being "so innocent it's almost cute" when he was laying out his experiences and arguments made me want to punch her in the face. For comparison, the Japanese script has her acknowledge his position and walk him through how living in Sumeragi has made him blind to the crimes being committed against adepts worldwide (yes, it's that bad that Sumeragi is considered relatively nice, probably why adept refugees like Asimov keep trying to sneak through the barrier).
8-4 also implies she sacrificed Eden to become a god ("Let's just say I'm seriously considering it"), whereas the Jap script states only if others ask it of her. She's implied to be two-faced and manipulative in the cult leader-esque way she talks to the other Eden members, vs her more casual and cruel attitude towards Gunvolt and Copen. Again, in the Jap script, she talks to GV and Copen similarly as she does to everyone else, meaning that she was genuine in those earlier scenes. Generally speaking, in the Jap script, she sounds a bit like a kid in-between the perversion, whereas 8-4's script has her talking like an evil adult.
I know 8-4 is wrong, too, because it introduces all sorts of inconsistencies in her character that aren't present in the script breakdowns anons here and the wiki have provided. Why would she cry out for Tenjian if she's just using him or spend her day cheering up another adept child (she didn't know Olga had potent powers, and even afterward, allowed her to choose if she wanted to stay with Eden or be placed under the care of civilians)?
This is a dead horse in /mmg+inti/ by this point, but it still gets me fired up.
