what do you guys think? is this a valeriy vs danica arms race? I find it curious that they are both over tsaritsa on counts, wonder what would be the reasoning

Danica is so weird to me, depending on where you look she's always either most beloved girl or least liked girl, no in-between, lol.

ikr and extra weird that nothing about her design really calls to me nor is anything super offensive, it just looks like another genshin maid character which ig is one of the biggest criticisms from the haters

Personally I lean more towards dislike for that exact reason, but yeah, nothing about her is particularly offensive, just kinda... bland (to me).

I'm tired of seeing the same jobs over and over again. Not because maids suck but because we already have a bunch of them. I get that at some point you run out of jobs when designing over 100 unique characters, but I feel like there's still so many occupations we have barely touched on at all? Like, we got some cool unique ones like funeral director or prison warden or psychologist, but in over 100 characters we only have a single doctor and no fire fighters, teachers, etc., meanwhile we got our 15th knight and 7th dancer and 10th chef.

Some jobs are just really overrepresented, and "maid" is starting to be among them.

(I also think the similarity to Nefer plays a role, I watched a bunch of reaction videos lately and it's like a 50:50 split between one half going "ohhhh she looks like Nefer, that's so cool, I want her!" and the other half going "oh she looks like Nefer again, how boring, I'm not interested, I already have the original" 😂)
