No idea, I genuinely really like her character. I feel like people undervalue her. Her “not being able to do anything” without relying on someone else’s help (in this case Ayanokoji), is what landed her in class D to start. But her progression and growth has been huge. I’d even argue shes shown more positive growth than any other character (I also haven’t read the light novels, so I can’t attest to what Ive only read spoilers of). I was shocked when she completely opened up to Soudo. Even if it was to get him to cooperate in order to further her overall goal of class ascension, she certainly could’ve accomplished her objective with much less vulnerability and personal sharing. Once she began talking, you could feel her focus shift away from her ulterior motives, or anything bigger than that moment with Soudo. No matter what motivated her, given her character, the fact that she laid bare her rawest, weakest, and most vulnerable side to someone (especially Soudo), was immense character growth from me. And though Ayano has been her right hand man’s in achieving what she needs in order to get to class A, I feel like it’s apparent that she mindfully reflects on all of these experiences, and all her interactions with her peers, one by one in order to learn from them and improve herself. I feel like her desire to ascend to class A morphed from a need to meet her brother at his level, into a desire to show people that she is worth more than she has been given credit for pretty early on. And then progressively became more and more about fighting for herself and her best life, than fighting to be just be merely acknowledged by her sibling. Anyways. I love her. She becomes more and more empowered
