To me, Tuon, or Empress Fortuona, seems even more fanatical about destroying the WT in ToM than she already was before. We also know that Graendal has recently taken up residence near Ebou Dar. Compulsion? To which goal?
I think BS just can't write her character. The plot calls for another Seanchan attack, and that's how he's chosen to do it.
Though re Compulsion, it's odd that Semirhage never used it on Tuon. She had plenty of opportunity. I have half a theory that after years of exposure to the Crystal Throne ter'angreal, Tuon has either built up a resistance, or is so tied up in that particular compulsion that another would be dangerous. There's no evidence suggesting either, I just can't think of any other good reason why Semi didn't make Tuon a mindless puppet long before we saw her.

It's possible that she IS under compulsion

I need to quit entering topics about Tuon because it just depresses me all over again.

I think she merely "grew" up and left her playful persona behind. Back then ...

Tuons perspective comes of blind spots and a millennium of indoctrination.

Her character has been f*ed up post KoD. It's the biggest tragedy for me in the author change

she doesn't want to destroy the White Tower. Re-read the ToM PoV carefully.

I honestly would like to know what y'all would have wanted Tuon to be like once she became Empress,
