the thing is, with margo it's obvious why she hates the chantry and why she'd have helped anders place the explosives inside the chantry in kirkwall. she was made tranquil as a child illegally and while her father managed to reverse it, she's convinced that contributed directly to his early death. she carries an immense amount of anger and trauma. she wants the chantry to burn. she's unbridled chaos and destruction and anger.

but sahar? whew. sahar is so much the opposite. she grew up in a place of actual quality of life for mages, where magic is as normalized as swords, in a small society very much focused on equality even if it's also incredibly isolationist and unwilling to send aid or support to those in the south ( though they'll take in anyone who can make the journey north ). the thing with sahar is that you look at her and think, she's intelligent and calm and quiet. she's very empathetic and kind. but she would have also helped anders place the explosives. to her, the southern chantries ( yes, including tevinter ) are barbaric and immoral. the longer she spends in the south, the more she sees how mages are not treated as people, the more she's convinced it would be better to wipe the entire slate clean and start over.

margo is scary because she's fragile like a bomb, and she has powerful magic that she will use to destroy the things that hurt her and people like her.

sahar is imo more terrifying because you think she's nice and empathetic and calm ( and she is ! ) but then you realize she's a very specific brand of ruthless. her people have survived and thrived as independent neighbors of the qunari for a reason.
