When we were discussing Pyrrha’s fate and how Cinder came into play, he decided he wanted her to be, “misunderstood,” by the audience. There was a whole side story where she hunted and killed the previous Fall Maiden at the temple in order to steal her powers, furthering the assumption she was acting out of malicious and selfish intent. Because she did not inherit the powers properly (intentions of the previous avatar) she feared Pyrrha being capable of taking them back from her as the true successor.

She was intended as a red herring who was tricked into believing a half truth in order to manipulate her into a puppet being controlled from the shadows. While she had blood on her hands, she carried that burden of guilt by believing she was acting out a necessary evil, similar to Lelouch from Code Geass.

Ashe had been under the impression that the rise of the Maidens would lead the world to calamity, so it became her goal to harvest the avatars’ powers in order to destroy them with herself as the sole vessel. When she learns the truth of how she was tricked, she sacrifices herself to help the girls and restore their Maiden powers in a final effort to overcome the true affliction on the planet.
