Talk:Rance 03:Popularity Poll/@comment-2602:306:CCD9:CD80:C86D:2384:15B6:CBEE-20170905154726/@comment-33042566-20170906103025

Personally, Shizuka wouldn't be a top girl for me either but there's a lot of reasons to like her. She's something of a Tsundere archetype, which is very popular in Japan (which I imagine is the dominant/entire participants in these polls). Her relationship with Ragarl and Nagi has been interesting and provided a lot of nuance to her, Nagi especially in the more recent games. She's capable and always one of the most useful members to join Rance's party. She's been around since Rance 2 and her objectives really have changed a lot in that time, from being wholly motivated by avenging her parents to risking her own life to create a new family. And also that obstinacy of hers is a major plus to a lot of fans. Many girls in the series eventually fall in love with Rance after he rapes them enough. That's why many people (at least in discussion on this wiki) are hoping she doesn't change in Rance X and we don't get something like "Oh Rance-sama! You have raped me the requisite amount of times! Now I love you!"

But it's all subjective.

(I imagine there may be some more vehement defense of her coming.)
