But in the end, she gets better. And, again, I would not say that she is "submissive", since Ryoga is a useless "dominant". He is the one to whom orders are given, and when he tries to dispose, this does not lead to anything good. 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.
