Id have to disagree, however i do see how we don't get to really see her character growth since we didn't get to see her being a childish narcissistic evil human being.
Just have to acknowledge that she's being strong by defying what is considered the norm for a a noble woman.
She's trying to be a better her.
She also kind of has to respect the position and era that she is living in too dont you think? Although her mindset is actually of a charismatic modern surgeon. Her position in this world is that of the precious daughter of a noble family. Unlike others who were reborn as a baby and can carry out their personality at a young age or being suddenly thrown into an unknown world. She is walking safely around the path she has already walked on.
Of course. But we see other women around her, carrying themselves completely differently. I get it, though at the same time it seems just a little too "perfect" and fitting to the timid, apologetic woman role. People are moved by her due to her pampering her "audience" and going along their ways. For me, personally, it just seems a little too "perfect"; as I said, "Mary Sue".
I was thinking the same and looking for a comment stating it. She's a Mary Sue, definitely. Yes, she's trying to be a better version of herself in this era, yes she's respecting her position in this world and is chosing a safe path, but she's too perfect, everybody likes her...etc. It lacks realism. We need spices.
I really like Elise, I do. But she's getting a little too Mary Sue for me. Maybe it's because I'm reading other stories right now with badass women, but she's just a little too timid and apologetic all the time. I love that she's incredibly intelligent and a brilliant doctor, but I just wish there was more to her personality.
