She's quite dumb isn't she????

i mean she is mentally unstable, and plus i think she is wary but wanted to at least trust someone. she's lonely and no one understood her. but because of "fate". she's fated to be killed no matter what and yet somehow she changed her fate. ml isnt that bad of a person. from what i read she just needed someone to understand her, plus i dont expect her to fight since she's going insane

She was a bit wary but honestly we can see that she’s able to protect herself from this and who automatically thinks they’d be killed bc of some guy? And of course she’s not gonna put up a fight with the ml bc she feels like she’s destined to die. She got killed in every lifetime and the one time things seem to be developing differently, she finds out that if she doesn’t die then she’d be stealing her best friend’s fate. The fl is also very much mentally unwell

she's just a normal person that ended up as a character in a novel(a villainess) who is destined to die(and god knows how many times). she even tried so many ways to escape death but is still forced to die, and when she's finally getting a happy(confusing) moment, some old folk would just pop out of nowhere and tell her that the world will end(the ogfl will die) just because she's getting a little happy in life. she'd be mentally unwell too—of course, because even if she'll die in an instant, she got her head cut off 19x. who wouldn't get crazy by that?

she cares about Leonie enough to sacrifice her life once more even tho she's scared. Leonie is the only one who believes in her after all

I mean you learn later but the real villainess is the one Ellome loves and thats why she resets time for the girl to try and win the duke over since she's obessessed with him. Her murder plots against Leonie go wrong and she puts the blame on our MC. The duke doesn't know who she is, other than she tried to murder Leonie (but we know this wasn't true). He isn't a bad guy, he's a guy who thinks he's taking down an attempted murderer.
