So this part is just conversations. But it is also from these conversations that we learned so many things. For me at least this was the part of the quest that let me know the most about Ei and what we would see in her region.
But here is where we hear from Signora the most. We barely get anything out of her in Mondstadt because she knocks us out and hurries off before the Knights can pin her assault on the Fatui. In Inazuma she already escalated things by knocking out Sara so we don't really get to hear much from her before the fight starts and she ends up dead at the end.
Back when we got this she was just this future boss we were looking forward to fighting (and I'm pretty sure nobody thought we'd already end her in the next region) so these kinds of conversations were taken at surface level. Also many people thought she'd eventually be playable.
Now getting a chance to look back I think we can see more. So you guys probably know my thoughts on who she is right? I think most people noticed how much more civil she acted compared to Venti. And after Inazuma came out we saw she was just as disrespectful to Ei. But she's the most civil here.
We assumed she was doing this because of the Tsaritsa and maybe Morax was just so much stronger than Barbatos and Beelzebul that they didn't dare move against him. But since Ei butchered her so easily I feel like even a stronger opponent wouldn't keep her arrogance down. And to her credit she's still plenty disrespectful to Zhongli too. But it's her line about Liyue that I think made her behave differently this time.
Based on her motives and why she joined the Fatui what she says about Liyue is important to her. She consistently shows disrespect to the gods because she believes they are responsible for the cruel world she was born to and the pain she suffers with her uncontrollable powers. So a world of man without the gods that is strong enough to defeat gods must have felt euphoric for her like a little part of her dreams coming true.
She shows little respect for Mondstadt and Inazuma because the people there are still devout and keep themselves under their gods. Venti didn't control Mondstadt but he was still constantly required to come back and help them and that probably didn't sit well with Signora. On top of that the Tsaritsa has personal issues with him too. Ei directly controls her region and the Fatui were there to undermine that by using the Tenryou and Watatsumi. If my theory on what the resistance actually accomplished happened my guess is the Fatui would be satisfied with Kokomi's rule over her people and they may even be satisfied with Sara's rule over Narukami. This could have been closure for Signora's character.
The way these chapters play out it completes her arc so it fits why she dies in Inazuma. We started in Mondstadt where it sets up that she hates gods and god fearing humans. Then when Liyue was taken over by the human Qixing - who as Zhongli puts it "seized power" from him - she was much more satisfied. She still showed her disdain for the god Morax but she was happy for Liyue. Finally she actively created the issues in Inazuma that let the humans take over and depose their god ending her story with her goal at least partly realized.
I feel like the Tsaritsa has a similar goal but Dottore likely doesn't so Sumeru will start a new arc on the surviving Fatui. We have him but we also have Scaramouche still running around out there. So fragmentation in the Fatui could be a thing in this next arc.
