Sigrid
she's so precious and adorable! she lacks common sense since she's been alone without developing her social skills for a long time, so her mindset originally was very narrow. she gained friends who cared for her and vice versa, but it doesn't mean whatever she does according to her thinking is brushed off like that. even if it's with good intentions, she still ignorant to tacit social conduct and thinks without the big picture due to life-long influence of blindly serving her master. she's learning to be flexible, but retain her upright and dense as bricks personality lol. also, she's really innocent bc of lack of social interaction. she used to only care about serving her master to be good knight. she neither cared nor thought about getting married or romantic gestures so it's natural she doesn't pick up or think too deeply about the subtle (or not subtle) romantic interest in her.

the plot itself is decent, not generic, and unfolds naturally along with the worldbuilding. has lots of potential story-wise, but i dont think it's brought to the full potential bc of the art... not to say that it's bad, but the flow of the scenes / overall transitions could be better. also, it's a shame to even mention this, but im glad there's none of that undermining male characters into 1D villains or foils for mc to shine. mc's savior, mc's savior's killer, josef, rayer, etc. there's only a couple prominent female characters... but we'll see how they're treated in this story.
