It has multiple phases and is epic in scale and ends in a duel between Riou and the Mad Prince himself before he finally dies. Cutting down Luca Blight in, what can be easily considered, the toughest boss fight so far.It only depends on how much you think her Plucky Girl trait (and some of the hilarious moments she provided) makes up for it or not. And then, there's her characterization, or rather, her Angst: Either it's understandable considering the situation she's suddenly thrusted into, or it's considered a Wangst, treated like being 'constantly whiny' and not having the courage to face the harsh reality and make tough decisions, it doesn't help that agreeing with her at one point can cause a prominent member of your army to suffer Plotline Death and agreeing further caused a Non Standard Game Over.
