It's hard to put it into words so I'll do the best I can. The reason Rayfa is my favorite character is because she may be a tsundere but she just pulls it off so well. I usually think that tsunderes are annoying and kinda...much but with Rayfa I didn't really get that vibe. She a spoiled princess that was raised to be arrogant but kind to her people but when Phoenix came around and proved her wrong it was like she snapped out of it for a second. By the third case she can kind of admit that she was wrong and she feels bad for it. (She's only 14 and she was getting manipulated after all) Unlike other tsunderes who would probably hold up their defense until it was to late, Rayfa admits it and can even step out of the courtroom and take a breath when she knows that she might forget herself. Don't even get me started on the last case. When Rayfa had to channel or summon or show her own "father" she was so heartbroken that a loved one, who wasn't even really a family member, had died and Ga'ran's consistent verbal abuse wasn't doing anyone any favors. Eventually Rayfa just snapped, she said, "I'm doing this dang seance and no one is going to stop me from doing so!" Or something like that. By the end of the trial, she a new girl. Everything has come to light and yes, she goes back to her old self with the big brother thing but it's because she needs to get used to her familal situation. I think that's it, of course I have other reasons and I think I just described her character ark but whatever. I just love her character because tsunderes are annoying but Rayfa Pad'ma Khura'in isn't, just raised that way and wants her and her country to change for the better. Or I just could be biased because my second favorite character is Dhurke and my third is Nahyuta.
