it's triggering my autism extremely hard that you put the stars and the moons on the top half but didn't put any on the bottom half of the outfit

We know that it was Ringo who wanted to ditch the moon (though the only real reason she gives is that the food is better on earth) and that Seiran isn't implied to have any idea what was happening prior to the invasion but had a real shitty, thankless job for bad pay, so that's about all we've got to go on
Reisen does get to have a complex character, but I'd wager it's only because she's an early windows character and thus ZUN didn't have as much choice when it came to using her over someone else
I'd say we got off easy, though, because Seiran's route being an afterthought means ZUN didn't do much else to throw off headcanons, and Ringo didn't appear at all so you can still fill in any gaps you want with her
At the end of the day we take what we can get and either discard or try really hard to work around the bits we don't like. I think it's still somewhat possible to rework Seiran into fitting your story's version without having to discard 19's additions, since characters in the mainline games typically act different to the manga versions anyway, and you can attribute some of her fightfag aspects to the incident getting everyone hyped up which incidents in touhou always do. She's not part of the main plot, but considering Zanmu was manipulating all of the beast yakuza to act in the way she wanted (muh palm of my hand and all that) it's possible to rework it to say that Seiran was being manipulated into meeting Saki which was part of Zanmu's machinations.
I'm probably reaching a lot, but that's sort of what we 2hufags do, so even if you're a stickler for canon detail wank like me, you can sometimes perform enough mental gymnastics to make things work.
