How I feel about this character
my opinions on her change often depending on how empathetic i’m feeling that day LMAO. someone needs to invent a way to give someone all the kisses and understanding in the world without ANY sort of vulnerability and then give that to her. i would love to just like. have afternoon tea with her. absolutely insane experience. not one table manner would be upheld and i’d be fascinated. that was entirely incoherent, sorry.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
kell. literally just kell. i think he’s so perfect for her like nobody else is. that being said, i do wish something more angsty and confusing would’ve happened when alucard kissed her that one time, and i know the lila/ojka hate sex would’ve been insane frfr.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
she and alucard are always slaying the house down. however, i like the idea of lila befriending any older character, especially a woman, as one of those ‘crazy young woman meets slightly more chill middle-aged bestie who tuts at their antics’ friendships. so like calla, or barron, or even maris.
My unpopular opinion about this character
i may or may not be burned at the stake for this one. 🫣
she really, REALLY pissed me off the first time i read agos. 💔
in adsom, i kinda got the whole ‘yeah, ok, it’s the 1800s and she never really interacts with other women. makes sense that she’s Like This.’ and after agos, i feel like she has a lot of development, despite how stubborn she is.
BUT IN AGOS. no. it was that bit right at the beginning when she’s in the corset and dress: ‘…an abominable dress.’ ‘why in god’s name must women do this to themselves?’ as much as i could analyse that section, i won’t for everyone’s sanity. it just rubs me the wrong way for a variety of reasons. that doesn’t feel so period-accurate or rebellious to me, just unnecessary. though, i do think a lot of this changes perspective when you consider lila to be genderfluid rather than a woman, which i admittedly didn’t during my first read.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
speaking as ojka’s #1 fan, i really wish she’d stuck around longer to serve as a foil/mirror to lila. i feel like there was a lot more potential there. also i want them to make out.
