I still think Ryuu is better because Ais is emotionally and mentally compromised as a person.

The girl needs to radically change her maturity and emotional makeup.

I understand that she has a deep mental trauma equivalent or worse than post traumatic stress disorder.

@Emiya4578 Considering she was able to voice to Bell that she wants to get to know him better and then followed that up with an open invitation to Bell to get to know her better.....then later wondered if he would accept her true self once he finds out everything.....I think she will be just fine lmao.

I want to see Ais open up emotionally she acts like a robot and hardly shows feelings.

Anime only, got it.

Hestia actually got votes. damn!

Also, ais's emotional development is a bit weird. She is not a child. And she is by no means dumb. Even during that very first battle against that first demi spirit in SO 1 on floor 50, she shows decent levels of intelligence. Its more so that ...well, yeah, ais doesn't open up enough. plus

Ais lacks a lot of interactions that everyone else takes for granted so her societal development is far lacking (hence the air headed stuff). As a result, even she does not understand her own emotions in my opinion. Well, her treating bell as a rabbit is a bit.....childish ig.

The stunted emotional and mental development is due to that horrible trauma I can sympathize for this.

Hestia is a very annoying character; if she were a real person, she’d be the kind you'd need to get a restraining order against just to get some peace. That’s why I understand why she’s one of the most unpopular characters in the franchise.

However, you have to analyze her from Bell’s perspective. Does her behavior bother him? Not at all. As clingy as she may seem, he has never told her to stop or said that she’s bothering him. And it’s not because he’s afraid to say it—it's just that, literally, throughout the entire novel, we’ve never seen Bell express any negative feelings toward her. So, no matter how irrational it may seem to us that someone could find Hestia likable, the fact is that Bell does. That’s why I included her as one of the options.

Also, objectively speaking, Hestia could be an excellent girlfriend: she’s attractive, loves him with devotion, makes him her top priority, and is completely loyal to him. What more could you ask for in a woman? There's a reason Bell is more attached to her than to any other character—she’s the only person he has ever said he could never be apart from.

Hestia is the most annoying character in the series without a doubt i definitely would put a permanent restraining order on her.

You have to understand this behavior is due to the Author not letting Bell mature.

The author wants to keep Bell as he is because if This wasn’t the case he would tell Hestia and the other girls to scram, and break up.

Bell might have matured a little but he still the same naive boy in beginning.

Maturity changes a person drastically Bell would not put up with The foolishness of these women any longer, and put his foot down.

Bell is a pushover because the author wants him to be the series would end when this ends.
