Yeah, that's what I actually explained. Given what we know about her from when she was younger, she was a more affectionate person. Also, Cornelia still has drastically different facets of her personality, she's so different with Euphy alone than she is with Euphy in front of anyone else, and even when we see her talk to Guilford over private communication channels, her voice and attitude change completely from what they are when she has to talk to him when other people are present.

Personally, I don't think she's really an "ice queen" type personality. She's a very passionate person who has to do everything she can to hide it, because ultimately she has a job to do that is more important than her personal feelings. It doesn't mean she actually lacks the personal feelings, just that she can only let them out at specific times.

Also her reaction wasn't really meant as a "here's a cute moment" thing, it was more to emphasize how impressed she was with what he did. It isn't a small token of loyalty, he turned down being in the Knights of the Round (which is a rank directly below that of the Royal Family) and was willing to piss off the Emperor in the process. And she really has a thing for loyalty, it's literally like all she ever talks about. Of course she would be impressed by this.

Edited to say, thank you SO much for reviewing. It means the world to me. Lots of love!

That's what I think, too. Based on the pre-series graphics that we've seen, she doesn't look like she's the same as she was in the series. There still seems to be more softness, and she's quite 'innocent' in those pictures. Even in the series itself, during the Marianne flashback, she doesn't have the same vibes like when she's in Area 11. I also agree that she uses a different tone of voice (which I like somuch ♥) when she talks to people she is close to, like Euphie, for example.

And that makes me really happy that she's not stuck as a stereotype stock character in the series. I mean, we get to see even another part of her that deviates from the 'ice queen' type of personality. That doesn't make her lack personal feelings. The noticeable changes in her tone of voice when she talks professionally and personally clearly prove that. I also believe she's very passionate in the things that she does, and she does things not just because she was asked to and it's her responsibility. I really can't say that she can be the ideal 'ice queen'. She cares for her companions in battle, too, and it's pretty evident when says "we shouldn't risk more men," etc.

I understand. :) But it really was a cute moment. *LOL* XD Although I kind of expected it from Guilford. And Cornelia even forgot that Euphie was there. That was so cute. :3

You're welcome. ♥
