Playing this for the first time with very little spoilers or even advertising material, and with no familiarity with the specific Pathfinder setting (although familiarity with the overall DnD settings and concepts)

Expected: Oh, Azata is embodied by the majesty and sincerity of childhood but manifested in chaotic fey-like beings. That's neat! I'm not really playing as an angel or a demon, and this seems a good neutral ground between "aggressively good" and "haha murder death kill bloodshed hedonism!" without going into Trickster which seems to be "remember webcomics from 2005" sorta humor.

I got spoiled that you'll have a Court, I bet it's a cool faery court kinda deal. I'm doing a draconic bloodline sorcerer, could be fun to be some giant fey dragon in some magic faery garden discussing how to beat up demons with other fanciful magical creatures. You get your own dragon, too, and I hear she's top-tier NPC! Two dragons hanging out in a faery garden doing faery politics, yeah that sounds on point.

What I got: You are the 40-something assigned-mommy in a polycule of 20-something NYC/Seattle artists. Mommy, I know you're busy fighting the war and all, but I want to do a street performance art and SHE wants to make a statue installation instead. I know you're at work, but we're gonna both be DMing you on discord nonstop until you tell us which one of us gets to use the last of the art supplies. Also bring back McDonald's please.

Mommy, I want to use this room as a jacuzzi, but Brandon wants to put his bonsai trees in here. Please come home from work immediately and solve this for us :c please, or I'll be a sad kitten uwu~

I get another popup while I'm off to save someone from demons and it's just like... oh god drama in the polycule discord again...

... Aivu's pretty fun and cute! Oh my god the rest of the court is just the most trivial entitled art-commune nonsense. I've lived in NYC I've lived this life I did not want to be dragged back into this you can't do this to me Owlcat why would you do this to me.

I fell into that trap too in my personal playthrough :D

One of the narrative designers back then suggested that I revert back to the mythic choice and pick Angel instead. Never regretted. So if the fuss around Azata isn't your thing, you may consider doing the same.
