I'll admit I was skeptical of her when she first appeared. It wasn't that I didn't like but I felt like she had no character deveopment at all, we didn't really know anything about her and that made me not trust her.
In The Aftermath though when we find out it's her father who's an equalist and Asami stayed loyal to her friends, I really respected and admired her, since then she's been one of my favorite characters. And after that she continues to show how great a person she is.
Though I love Asami I definitely don't ship Masami in any way shape or form. I just thought that from the beginning...
