The author of Bioshifter is even more Utilitarian than I am, and I think that plays into how you’re supposed to view the characters. Hannah is a traditionally “evil” character who’d be easy to hate and fear, and she befriends a lot of characters who could be considered “evil” in one way or another, but Utilitarianism doesn’t have a concept of evil people, so she doesn’t judge much. She kills people who pose a threat, and spares people who don’t seem to be a threat at the moment, even if they’ve done awful things in the past and may potentially become a threat in the future. Even the abusive mother Hannah considered evil is getting humanized now that she no longer poses a threat, and if there’s a way to “defeat” the Goddess, I think it will involve finding some kind of humanity in her beyond Hannah’s judgment of her as evil.
