Dear Anise haters...
I have nothing against you hating Anise. I can even overlook some of your arguments that I disagree with, because I know that the translation altered her character a little and can understand how it makes your view of her different from mine.
However.
Could you please stop calling her "Murdernise"?
Murder is, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (7th edition), "the crime of killing somebody deliberately" (emphasis mine).
She has never wished for Ion's death to happen. Hey, she didn't even kill him herself!
Yes, it sucks that she was a spy all along and handed him over to Mohs, but come on, her parents were taken hostage, what was she supposed to do? It wasn't even absolutely certain that he would die!
Also, the duel with Arietta? No, she didn't accept it because she wanted the girl dead. She is flawed, yes, but she's not a bloodthirsty demon. She even cried for her. Twice.
She's not a saint, but she's not evil either, so could you please drop that insulting nickname?
