I gotta admit it's hard to like/relate to a character when they're shown to be like that and supposedly -recently- enough for little Castela to have seen it.
As far as liking or relating to the character - I find it gives them much more depth - and depth is good in any literary endeavour.
If there are modern movies of monstrous creatures that have found ways to integrate into society without going all bloodlust, I find it hard to believe the paranormal community hasn't simply shifted to other things. Is there some instinctual thing which requires the Sphinx to murder someone? Could it simply be lab grown meat if they do, for some reason, need the flesh of a sentient creature? If that isn't the thing. What about animals instead, livestock isn't exactly hard to get.
Just some of how things go down in this comic makes me think the humans that had Atsali's parents targeted, and wanted to create Castela, maybe had The Right Idea and I'm surprised they haven't literally nuked the more dangerous of the lot.
But as I've said elsewhere. I kind of liked things when they weren't on such a supposedly "cosmic" scale. It's harder and harder to relate to the characters, and no matter how sweet or "have a cookie" she can be. Phix just can't be related to because she lacks the will to resist her instincts.
