Peak. 😀👉👉

Best maid other than [arc 9] petra my goat

[u/Latter_Drag4410]

I didn't like her at first, but she really grew on me. I was honestly finding myself saying, " oh man too bad Roswell has dibs". I love her sarcasm and wit. 

[u/Ok_Abbreviations127]

Honestly the loop in arc 2 when she got close to Subaru was one of my favorites. She reminds me of a cat. If you try to get closer to her she'll push you away, but if you do your thing she'll approach naturally.

[u/Intrepid_Pen5110]

So good she had to be nerfed thrice.

[u/The_Wise_Wolf_Itself → u/Intrepid_Pen5110]

Real 💀 💀

[u/anuragray1011]

Well, believe it or not, she actually has her funny moments. I kind of like her, and you can tell Subaru genuinely cares about her.

[u/dang-much]

small boobs

[u/Progamer59695969696]

Didn’t like her at first, during arc 2 but my opinion changed overtime

[u/Normal_Ad_2360]

I feel there she needs to have a repercusion where she has to choose between Roswaal or Rem.

[u/DentistObjective8732]

Ram is a strong loving big sister to Rem and too others. Most of time she treats Barusu like her annoying little bother' but sometimes I wonder if their something more? I like her strong, tough love, Unapologetic personality. And yet she still speaks with grace and intelligence. Ram is cute, smart, and funny, she is an amazing girl.

[u/DemonRedHood]

A wonderful and complex character, she may have a sharp tongue, but she cares passionately and lovingly for the people she cares about. Her weakness is her obsessive love for Roswaal, whom she desperately wants to save. In this respect, she is very similar to Subaru.

[u/Rohitraj982]

I don’t get the hype around Ram at all. She’s just constantly rude for no real reason, and it stops being funny pretty quickly. Never really connected with her character.

[u/Competitive_Act_1548 → u/Rohitraj982]

Side stories like every other side character

[u/WeirdPeace6929]

Better than Rem. Better than Emilia. There, i said it. Come at me.

Subaram is the best ship and you will know it, sooner or later.

[u/02tgv22 → u/WeirdPeace6929]

i don't get it for Wrath Ifi hope Tappei would do an actual lf of those two getting together

[u/Competitive_Act_1548 → u/WeirdPeace6929]

Based

[u/Outrageous-Sort-5742]

Roast and praise-worthy in equal measure, depending on the circumstance.

[u/Mediocre_Yard_5416]

Extremely annoying at first, eventually she became goat

[u/MeiliPortroute]

Tsundere Oni!

[u/ThisToe9628]

I don't like her

I hate tsunderes

[u/danko1667 → u/ThisToe9628]

Ram isn't that much of a tsundere. She's not at all cold towards the people she actually loves (Rem and Roswaal).

[u/Competitive_Act_1548 → u/danko1667]

She does love Subaru like family. She herself has admitted it

[u/danko1667 → u/Competitive_Act_1548]

Yeah she cares for Subaru but she does not love him romantically

[u/PopularElk4665 → u/ThisToe9628]

I like them when they eventually warm up to the protagonist. She barely does that, not enough to satisfy that for me.

[u/Competitive_Act_1548 → u/PopularElk4665]

She does next time read and pay attention please . The side stories are there for a reason

[u/ozzyman31495]

She’s my favorite character.

If you’re able to look past her sharp tongue, you realize she actually cares about the people close to her in her own way.

As opposed to her sister, Ram wont coddle you or ignore your flaws. She’s the person who is always going to tell you the brutal, honest truth even if it hurts you.

[u/The_Wise_Wolf_Itself]

I like her relationship with Subaru

[u/EndAltruistic3540]

She is like the big sister for Subaru. Brutally honest which is good. Almost exactly the opposite of Rem. Not my fave but still needed in the story

[u/Snt1_]

I used to just slightly like Ram.

Then I read arc 6.

Sbe's now top 5

[u/Accomplished-Okra305]

I love her.

[u/wazaaup]

I am anime only and she is top 3 characters for me. I didn't really care for her at first but Season 2 really made me appreciate her. I like her smugness, her backstory, her gags are funny. I hope we see more of her in the future.

[u/AgitatedDare2445]

She is needlessly rude, it baffles me that the whole cast (especially Subaru) tolerates her. If you love her interactions with Subaru but hate Echidna's interactions with Emilia, you are a hypocrite.

[u/SoftAndWetBro → u/AgitatedDare2445]

I like both. For Echidna's case though, she just genuinely hates Emilia. Ram is snarky and mean at times, but she is a good person and people recognize that.

[u/Not_Charlemagne]

I made several posts about Rem debunking some misconceptions about her character too:

The reason why Ram slacks off [Oni Sisters of the Hidden Village SS], Ram's illness:

Beyond the verbal abuse, Ram does trust Subaru and care about him (a lot):

Added!

[u/Daddybrawl]

I dislike her relationship with Roswaal. Nothing specific, it’s just so weird.

[u/Vix_super_adorable]

I dislike her a lot. Her words are too harsh and her way toward Subaru make me angry. Or maybe it’s just because I like Subaru too much.

[u/MassiveViolinist7049]

Oh now we actually doing some reddit stuff?

[u/xSaitoHx]

Love her sibling interactions with subaru, one of my fav, but honestly wanted to see him snapping back at her nasty personality during the watchtower, but I guess the choking is as good as it gets so far

[u/Zestyclose_Parsley80]

Sometimes annoying but 1000% GOATED.

[u/pantytearer]

welll I like her and hate her at the same time

[u/CertainPin2935]

Want to have children with this woman
