Nobody is "just" anything. Or everybody is just themselves. There are depths that have been hinted at for every one of these characters.

Spoiler for something that happens later on in the manga:
She's been around more then long enough that she knows how she feels and isn't afraid to share it. This also means she isn't really worried about her appearance either. I'm sure she sorted out personal image issues like that hundreds of years ago. One of the perks of being immortal is that you have all the time in the world to sort out your personal problems. Besides, we all know how her job works. If people are dying in battle nearby, the souls go through her body to Emroy. Episode 6 explains pretty well what happens if she isn't able to go out into battle. It creates a lot of sexual tension for her. Why demean her character for wanting release this on Itami? She has a legitimate interest in him too. It's not like she is constantly going around mating with every male she meets. (as could be what the term "slut" could apply to). Spoiler for Hints from manga:
Rory is a bit of a deviant, but it's not that simple. She's been around 961 years. That will obviously result in a ...unique personality. My only concern is the anime might go off the rails a bit in the adaptation and make mistakes with Rory. One example, in the most recent episode it cut out the reason she suddenly became interested in that dress in that shopping scene. In the manga, Risa immediately said after Rory mentioned not being interested in going out shopping that she knows of a store for black goth clothes. That perked her interest. But the anime completely cut it out and just jump cuts to her staring at the dress. I just hope the anime doesn't introduce bigger inconsistencies with her personality relative to the manga/LN as thus far it's been changes I'm fine with (the censorship was a bit disappointing, but it's not distracting from my enjoyment of the series thus far). They already changed her character design and that I can live with since I didn't see her manga design until after I saw 4+ episodes. But they better not ***k up her personality or I'm going to have some problems. I wonder what she was like before she became an apostle. But perhaps that's a discussion best had in the Rory thread. As for Tuka....Her character has been ... meh. Even Lelei has been a little interesting for me. (her calm demeanor and logical side) But even though I've read the manga Tuka still doesn't really interest me. I guess she's just not my type.

Spoiler for spoiler reply:
By Rory is...just Rory I meant it was unnecessary to explain why I called her a seducer. I'll comment further on Rory in her thread. Back on Tuka, I can see why she got a suit for the Diet meeting; she's quite statuesque, so it rather suits her. Spoiler for reply to apache thunder:

Usually: 1) Introduce new side character 2) Some kind of event with this character 3) Either more events with this character or the character goes away for awhile Usually you wouldn't introduce a character and then not do events with them. I think the story suffers for it too. It would be better to introduce Tuka later in the story when it's time for some of her events. |

Tuka's plotline certainly is taking a little time to set up, that's good. And completely different from Rory, whose screentime so far doesn't seem to be leading up to any deep character development. Yes, Rory's getting closer to Itami, but that's natural enough, and nothing as psychological or sympathetic as Tuka's development. That's why I prefer Tuka out of the other characters, and think Rory's introduction could have been much more happily moved back. |

She lived her entire life sheltered in a village where few things happened. So excuse her for losing all things she took for granted, including her father. Even some genocide survivors never got over what they have lost decades after.

On her mental health issues...
While she seems similar enough to a human on the surface, her brain chemistry is likely rather different. More importantly her race is very long lived, which most certainly would have caused some evolutionary changes to mentality to deal with the effects of time. All in all, a human trying to fix her, even a professional, is likely playing with fire. She needs a elven specialist, which considering the setting, will be most likely a religious figure of some kind. |

Since her magic system is not the same as Leilei(She summon and control spirits) while Leilei is more of the traditional mage of using mana to create "effect" with her mana.

Tuka might get worse if she is more wary of others worried about her condition.
But really, I thought Tuka the Blond Elf was more of a bait instead of the Goth-Rory. It really isn't making any sense to me that Goth-Rory is the most appreciated, putting "-sama" at the end even though there were smartphone led light photo shooting towards Tuka the Blond Elf during Diet Broadcast, although it was all for her pointy ears. I'd say Tuka has more female fans than males. |

I am just curious, because I never heard about rules like these. I am under the impression the author can write the story however he/she wants ?. Bad writing I usually associate towards inconsistencies ?
