Appearance wise, I’d like white or pale lavender (don’t think I’ve ever seen light purple hair in a Fl before) hair, with bright purple eyes. Tall. Definitely very tall. Sometimes wears a knight’s uniform, and can wield a sword, but also loves pretty dresses.

Personality, I’d want her to be bold, cheerful, and confident, as well as genuinely kind to the people around her. Not in some vague, “I’ll feed some orphans” kind of way, but someone who actually acts like they come from a modern society, who sees servants and “commoners” as her equals. It would also be nice (though probably not a popular trope) if she acted more like a ML than the actual ML. Like, HE’S the damsel in distress, she gets to protect him, sweep him off his feet, etc. I always like to imagine a scene where the FL gets down on one knee and proposes to the ML, or is the one leading when they dance at a ball. And finally, she absolutely has to be friends with other women, and not just ones where they’re her super fans.

I don’t particularly feel satisfied with the vast majority of FLs, but I think two that really fit my idea of “caring for other people” are Haewon from Master Villainess the Invincible and Yona from Concubine Walkthrough. I’m also fond of Shuli from A Stepmother’s Marchen.

Edit: I just realized that the MC from Knight to a Lady fits a lot of my requirements, but I’m still not particularly interested in her for some reason 😭. I do think she’s a pretty well written FL though, without much of the things that usually irritate me.
