In principle, the whole nature of Sabella's destructiveness can be explained by the fact that her older brother was perceived by her as an infallible ideal, which he never was. So she aspired to the wrong and inappropriate role model for her. And as soon as she saw in him an ordinary person who could make mistakes, their relationship as relatives and riders immediately improved.

The arc you just described sounds good in premise and fitting with the moral of taking care with idolizing authority. However, for all the unnecessary trouble Reika causes for characters who have no investment in her personal arc and the overly long time it takes to address her obsession with Ryouga, I can't really hold it against people to begrudge her for that.
