Her backstory looks consistent to me, but to be honest I'm not really getting any villainous vibes from her. I'm sure she'd work as an antagonist, but from her profile page alone I would find it difficult to classify her as a villain.

While I do think that for villains that are not psychopathic they must in their mind be justified in their actions, and that can lead to the reader being able to relate to them, Nozomi strikes me as a little too relatable and understandable. She could easily work just as well as a hero in a different story as the antagonist in Red Mirror. I think she falls more into the antihero catagory than as a villain.

Not to say she wouldn't work as the antagonist for RM, as it would depend on how you write her and the actions she takes. But I think I would find it difficult to point to her in the story and say 'She's the bad guy!' when I think most people would agree with her reasons for pursuing Lustra to Vacuo.

I think if you were to compare her to a character like Batman, you'd be surprised how similar they are.
