A major reason as to why Fiora is so stuck up about perfectionism- the idea of one’s self always achieving the top, being the top, being flawless / perfect is something plenty of people tend to notice about her. She never settles for seconds, it’s the top or nothing, she doesn’t allow anything to be off. Every step of hers feels like she planned it in advance, every swing of a blade as precise && elegant, more than any other duelists could be. Fiora does it for a reason -
her Family, though slowly rising back in respect, are built by thin sticks.
Fiora is aware that the second she shows flaws, shows weakness or incapability of performing her duty, her name will be tainted once more - her family will be tainted once more. She cannot allow herself ( or her family for that matter ) to be seen as incompetent - incapable or weak. That is Fiora’s greatest nightmare, one she will draw every ounce of blood she can to prevent from becoming reality, no matter how ‘ unnecessary ’ people deem it.
