'No Antagonist' doesn't fit this work; Ava frivolously murdering one of the main characters in the film - an innocent person and friend of the protagonists - and forcing Adam and Eve to risk their lives fleeing the country and all Adam's possessions - sets her pretty firmly as an antagonist. They're also wary of past trouble she's caused before she even arrives in the film.
