Match-Up #25
AAAH LITTLE NORI @datenoriko I MISSED YOU TOO! I hope you have more free time now! And ahh, sorry, I wanted to rush this in time, but oh well… Very late happy birthday? ^^”
Starting off with curiosity, I presume that warlords similar in this attribute could be a nice pick. Now, I wouldn’t necessarily say strictly book-smarts suitors or those who tend to be intellectual themselves - I think that for curiosity alone, I’d rather go with people who can lead stimulating discussions or just like to explore life.

Helping around… Hmm… Well, I’d like to consider it in combination. Surely, by itself it would be plenty approved by characters who tend to overwork themselves (read: Hideyoshi), however, when put side by side with empathy and patience, it leads me to believe that it could perhaps stretch a little into realm of emotional support? I don’t mean solving problems for the other person, but much rather just being there.

Seeing good in everything… Well, I think it could be appreciated a lot by those who tend to focus on the negatives or who tend to view world as a cruel place. Perhaps those who see themselves as weak or otherwise undeserving?

Patience! Hmm… Well, it certainly helps plenty when waiting for some of the warlords to open up. However, I think it may not be enough by itself in few cases? As in, a dash of stubbornness may be necessary to start bonding with some suitors too. Hmm…

Hmm… We shall start with forgetfulness. I can’t see it being an obstacle in most cases, save for one - Mitsunari. He tends to get lost like so as well, so yeah, it could be a bit too much all at once. It could be hard to handle, although still manageable with some more adjustments. However, given how it could increase stress levels and worsen the anxiety… Let’s go for more reliable suitors.

I’d honestly want to focus on this quality a bit more. I suppose there could be few ways of mitigating its effects, one being the partner trying to compensate for it with their mental resources (read: remembering stuff for you), and the other one… Supporting you to get some idea how to handle it yourself? Now, it is not a given it would happen, but we’ve seen suitors encouraging MC to learn something new or to allow herself to experience something.

Now, to being a ‘yes man’. I thiink it could go rather poorly with warlords who tend to be very dominating or otherwise mothering themselves and who do not have their partner’s autonomy at the very top of their priority list. Now, this isn’t to say they do not value it - it’s just that, in their routes, they didn’t necessarily perceive MC as her own independent person at first and had to break this sort of mindset…. Or were just too overbearingly nagging.

Lastly, let’s consider being easily stressed, anxious and overthinking all in one point. It honestly made me take a step back and think at first, as I suppose it may tie with… Honesty and being let down? Allow me to explain. You’ve listed being curious, and that involves exploring new things. So when thinking what could ease this sort of anxiety, I ended up believing that it could perhaps happen if the person was honest about their intentions and anything they’d do, giving them a certain sort of “predictability” (as in, they will stick to their promises and do not treat their words lightly. This way, even if an event is scary, there is something to soothe you). I thought that if this expectation was upheld numerous times, that then perhaps it would be easier not to feel so stressed and anxious.
At the same time, I believe the reverse may worsen it? If the partner was to keep you in the dark about their plans, sometimes even lying to you? Joke cruerly or force you into stress-inducing situations? I think anxiety could make it harder for trust to form in such conditions.
