The probability of Asami becoming 'evil' at this point is about 0.01%. It'd completly undermine her strong moral code. But, despite her strong morality she is still human and therefore susceptible to human nature i.e. mistakes. I'd probably like her more if she actually had a legitimate screw-up that makes me want to slap her. Characters with flaws are usually more appealing because they're more realistic and relatable. Asami does have a flaw; Her flaw is insecurity. But, my issue is that her flaw is only meant to further endear us to her and this something that can be said of Bolin's naivety. When Asami shows her vulnerability it only makes her become sympathetic to the audience. She witnesses her boyfriend carry another girl( bridal-style) and we get a close-up of her sorrowful face making the audience take pity. Even when she persisted to snap at Mako leading up to the end of their relationship her venom was somewhat justified so it wasn't easy to condemn her. Her flaws pale in comparison when looking at the positive aspects of her character. It makes more idealistic as opposed to realistic, in my opinion.
