Y-you give me too much credit, friend. Not all of my predictions were spot on (i.e. I originally predicted that Calypso will be a weapon that would allow Orion to wield magic both in the "game" and in the real, my basis being one of the screenshots in the early previews that imply that he could be a magic wielder).
And some of my predictions simply parrot or iterate upon what some of the people in this thread are saying or have already theorized (i.e the idea that Eternum isn't an MMO). I try to cite if I can remember, but with how many posts fly by in this thread it's sometimes hard to keep up, so I cite it as 'something I've read people claim in this thread' or such. DX
(Also I blame Vaatividya and Fromsoft for cursing me with the habit of dissecting/theorycrafting shit whenever there's a hint of a mystery afoot, the bastards. DX)
A quick glance in this thread seems to indicate that a good chunk of people believe her to be a prisoner or even a good person, yes. But I personally don't see it really. Like I said in this thread a while back she reminds me too much of 'Kotomine Kirei' from Fate/Stay Night. I want to add though that the Kirei I see her as is the one from the 'Heaven's Feel' route, and not in the other routes where the character is played as a straight-up antagonist by the end. Granted, he still ends up as an antagonist in the route, but he feels less of the mustache-twirling kind and more of the "fleshed-out barrier that the hero has to overcome to proceed" kind.
I guess what I'm saying is I see her as someone who is responsible in her duties and function as an overseer of Eternum (the MMO) and is allied with potentially not-so-good people (i.e. The Founder). However, I also think that she has a lot of secrets hiding beneath that smile, and that the way she goads and provides cryptic clues to Orion during their encounters is not out of some altruistic motive (i.e. breaking the chains of the dead and setting them free) but a more selfish one.
Thus, it's not that she sees you as a champion. She sees you as a pawn. But again, that's just my opinion/bias talking.
She's kinda like the opposite of Calypso I suppose. Where Calypso is haughty, she presents herself as meek. Where Calypso is not afraid of getting her hands dirty, she would simply have people do things for her (i.e. making the Weapons of Atlas and bestowing them upon people, both as to aid them but also to accelerate the process of hunting down the gems).
And speaking of opposites, there is a certain Greek myth figure that is prominent in the "Odyssey" that is spoken of as Calypso's opposite and one that could possibly contain her, one that would work alongside Odysseus/Ulysses (whom I personally suspect/theorize as the Founder's true name, and not just the name of his company) only for the relationship to grow cold as time went on, and

Again, could be wrong. But eh.
