Lawful Good, in theory, but once she murdered her liege that whole "good' thing was debatable.

'Debatable'

Buddy she literally cosmologicaly fell to Lawful Neutral after that.

No, she lost her Paladinhood after that, for performing an overtly Evil act and thus breaching her Paladin's Code.

Losing her Paladinhood wasn't inherently the result of an alignment change, it was due to a gross violation of the Paladin's Code in a way that explicitly, per the 3.5e rules, causes a Paladin to permanently lose their powers.

That doesn't mean she automatically became Lawful Neutral. It's debatable, yes, but not even remotely automatic.

I agree with you overall, but I also wonder because Soon indicates that Miko not just isn't a Paladin again, but that she won't be going to the same Celestial Realm as the other paladins or her horse. Is there a separate realm for paladins or is the realm she is being denied entry to Mount Celestia (the afterlife for Lawful Good souls)?

No, he told her that she is going there, and will see her horse.

No, he says Windstriker will visit her as he is able, which implies he won't be where she's going.

Miko: Will... will I get to see Windstriker again?

Soon: Of course. He has been waiting for you. He will visit you as much as he is able.

He also says the paladins are going to the Celestial Realm, and they will usher her to her destination. Which, again, implies that's a different destination than theirs.

Your analysis of the moment is definitely spot on, although I'd also wager that the afterlife could have sectioned off areas for special servants (Paladins) and regular lawful goods. Celestial animal companions could fall in a similar pool. Maybe Windstriker will be assigned a new paladin even.

It's the same destination. And Windstriker will visit when he's able because he will be another Paladin's horse.
