Virago: My attempt at a benevolent double agent
So, in my last update, Starfleet made its first appearance and Virago was discovered by Finn to be a spy. And Finn forgave her. It wasn't just Finn being so compassionate it is exploitable. It was because of Virago's intentions and consequences.
So, who is Virago? She is many things. She is someone who used to have PCOS, she is Force-Sensitive, she wields the Orca Swords, she admires Rey, she also likes Finn and Poe, she is a kind and brave woman.
And yeah, she is a mole inside Stormwolf. Voluntarily. But why?
She is a spy, not for the evil Black Legion, but for the morally gray Rey. When Rey toys with the Dark Side, Palpatine tries to make her fully give in, but Virago tries to keep her in the Light.
She genuinely cares about Stormwolf, however, since Rey is not very welcome for her attitude (which was the result of brainwashing), Virago does her best to make her and Finn reconcile and tell the truth.
In fact, the most questionable thing she does is letting Rey steal Leah's pet mouse. In her defense, she knows Rey is going to treat Little Finn well and that she is lonely and needs some love.
Unlike other double agents, who are loyal only to one side or just themselves, Virago genuinely wants the best for both sides she is in and strives to unite them.
So, in my opinion, a kind man like Finn, who also starts mellowing about Rey herself, would forgive Virago easily.
Overall, I see Virago as a hero who is in a team of heroes, and also works for and supports a conflicted person.
