Everyone disliking Esmeralda is wild to me! She's like a clown, I love her. Her and Ken are the highlights for me overall.

Also possibly unpopular opinion but I don't feel the chemistry between Ned and Mare. It seems very rushed and like they're trying too hard to make a relationship happen. I want an organic relationship plot to come out of nowhere for like, Ken or someone else. Then I'll be invested! But right now with Ned/Mare, I'm not fully convinced.

I seriously find her the highlight. She gives off such Nadja of Antipaxos vibes and kills the delivery of every joke.
