Agree!! I really enjoyed reading this manga, especially because of her. She is takes her time to plan things out. And just like what you said, thinks about others and doesn’t solely focused on herself. Pretty much knows her responsibility very well.
Someone may have already noticed but I would likely have to go through the pages and pages of comments to find it which would be mentally exhausting: the frame around the name of the empress on chapter 2, page 5, last panel (I think) has a very unique dichotomy represented in the images in the middle of the top and bottom of that frame. The top image looks like a Phoenix rising while at the bottom where that image is flipped it's the image of a queen/empress.
Secondly, I love how Yulia is concerned with her allies mental state despite the fact the actions she's taking are necessary for her survival. She is one of the most selfless female leads I've seen in quite some time. After all she may be doing things for her survival but it's definitely NOT all about her. That makes her one of the most well rounded characters too!
