I didn't really make the point I intended in the last post.
The asari characters I've written for have generally been in a favourable light; Liara, Samara, Aethyta, Benezia, with only the OC Matriarch Methia really exhibiting any malevolence but as I said in the previous post, my view of Thessia has never been as favourable. 'Record Deleted' (Miranda journal) probably says it best (in reference to the Niket incident):
That Eclipse Sister, it makes me wonder, something I've pondered before; the asari. Living for a thousand years must make us humans seem like blips to them. Possibly even unimportant. They talk well enough of the galaxy's need to be inclusive when they wax lyrical on the Citadel but the home world Thessia is another story. Their Matriarch Council rages over whether Thessia should close borders or continue in their 'galactic social experiment'. The Matriarch bartender we met at Nos Astra said as much, that the galaxy has been a cycle of destruction even just in her lifetime, and she'd rather that Thessia just shut up shop and became independent, and keep well out. I'm certain more goes on with the asari that they let on. As one of the oldest space-faring species in the galaxy, and having the luxury of a thousand years to ponder the universe, there's got to be something that they're holding back. We would.
So my view on individual asari seems favourable but Thessia itself (and the enigmatic Matriarchs), not so much.
