This type of side character is so annoying, always appeared in the great/important situation, there is also something like this in other anime called seirei gensouki, the annoying girl named latifa. Like why the hell there is so many authors creating a character like this, disclaimer: this is for all of the moderators, i do not mean to make a mess in this anime discussion, i just want to expressing of what i feel, so please🙏🏼

Somewhat agree with you as well, I don't see the need to add these types of characters when there are so many other, better archetypes. Maybe for the cuteness factor, but there are also so many better ways to go about doing that.

you know how it sounds like?

"My 10y/o kid is so annoying. I can't stand a minute when it starts crying and throws a tantrum. I'm a disown it."

(I used it over here to stay gender neutral)

Now, I know Lily is not a 10y/o. But her personality is that of a kid. It's so unrealistic if all the characters are perfect to the point of not being annoying at all. So the authors have to bring up characters with such personality for the depth in their writing.

Grammatically 'they' is the correct word and also gender neutral.

Yeah. I understand that. But didn't feel like using that to describe a child for some reason. Apologies for using bad grammar.

Lily is supposed to be like a little sister. The big brother/little sister relationship is quite a popular one in anime.

Im glad you gave disclaimer for mods. Allows me to say what I think in response. You don't actually say anything here. You mention another anime which is not relevant to this show, and, as you have given me privilege, I'll express myself, and why dont you just fuck off and go post your opinion on fb or some where else.

For the most part I agree. She just out of place.

I think her 'arc' or ep was good enough. But then she devolved into crying noise maker towards the end.

Why a ~10 yr old is a general, how getting smacked over the head = insane love and affection, why everyone accepts her as a general makes no sense.


Fantasy show, that's why ;)

I only found Lily loud (a little annoying) in the first episode when they were doing a meeting behind Echidna's back to hire Leo in secret. But she's fine everywhere else, and is a great character.

I think the reason why she's so loud in the first episode is to really play up the red herring false appearance that she's some sort of annoying kid who won't listen, because right in the next episode she gets her episode where Leo thinks that was the case, but is proved utterly wrong, and admits it. All Leo had to do was explain things to her, she just lacked the experience to know what to do, not the maturity nor mindset to listen and learn.

Another reason for Lily is it implies the desperation of the Demon Queen's army that they not only have a kid as one of the generals, but she's in charge of logistics. This appearance is actually false as Lily is actually quite ridiculously powerful in her giant animal form (she brute forced the unbreakable boulder, and all the obstacles Leo set up), and she actually can help in things like logistics. She helps in other ways also with the morale boosting for Echidna by suggesting to plant flowers in the courtyard. Her instincts are actually right a lot of the times, at one point late in the season the other generals were wondering why Leo was helping them given his suspicious past becoming known, Lily says she thinks "Leo is a good guy who wants to help them" and everybody brushes it off as if it was a comment from a naïve kid, but she was actually right.

And lastly the last battle...

This is one of my favorite animes, and I've rewatched it many times. The stuff I've pointed out is very hard to spot on a single watch given the twists of the story. But even during my first watch, I remember Lily was fine, she was just a little too loud during the secret meeting with Leo in the first episode. But Lily's character is not unimportant to the show, she was very much essential to the show.
