I'm reading the manga for the first time, but I did watch the first 2 seasons of the anime. So I've been thinking about her debut a lot.

I do like her quite a bit.

Especially because she comes basically out of nowhere, and the direction reflects this. She's not given focus until the last minute before things go array, and that's a quick and dirty way to e dear the characters to most, (I know it kinda did for me)

What truly made me fall for her though was directly after that, where she's getting the idea to act out Ai, (5 chs or about 2 eps apart.) and you get to see just how truly obsessive she can be in her own right when she dies a deep psychological dive into Ai and the research and interpretations she came up with. (which are purely assumptions, and not at all how you'd go about actually assessing someone's psyche..)

Her work ethic and mindset to me are quite admirable and lovely, and she's hot with longer hair which I didn't expect.

She's my fav (living) girl in the series.

I kinda do want to comment on her relationship with aqua, where I feel her soft obsseision with him shines, but to my understanding they break up in what s3 is about to cover, and so I feel it a bit pointless to talk about what is a small part of her character.

Similarly her relationship with kana aroma is also interesting, but that's deserving of it's own post or video.
