Her deep religious devotion that was pushed into her as a child, plus her sinful nature that she tries repress made her an interesting character. She was kinda like Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, just less "evil." But then Miura threw all that out of the window and made her a worthless, uninteresting character.
>>
>>139462680
She follows the same general arc as Guts. Her 'turning to shit' is being better able to deal with others in a less psycho way.

Not that pyro Farnese wasn't fun.
>>
>>139464420
Miura needs to draw him normally more often again. Chestnut Puck is too overdone now.
>>
>>139464598
I literally just finished rereading the conviction arc and I don't really agree. Farnese was always very weak willed and unsure of the things she was doing; meeting Guts and waking up for her illusion was a good thing for her. Only problem with her becoming Casca's baby sitter and learning magic, is her past "craziness" really hasn't been addressed since then. Maybe cause of their groups current settings doesn't really lend to her pain fetish but I hope it does get brought up again eventually.

remove puck REMOVE PUCK

Constantly interrupting serious scenes with his bullshit.
I mean, all the time, there is some tension of some sort, and then puck comes in with some stupid fucking pun to ruin it. I mean, I get that there are times for levity to provide some comic relief, but why does it have to be in every goddamn scene?

>Farnese was always very weak willed and unsure of the things she was doing; meeting Guts and waking up for her illusion was a good thing for her.

But that was the point of the character. She was supposed trapped in her devotion. When Guts shows up it makes her insecure of her own views, and that begins her character arc. She was supposed to step away from her devotion and start giving in into sinning little by little. When she "wakes up" it's when she was supposed to reach her epiphany. But by doing so this early and abruptly pretty much killed the character. She has nowhere to go now. Miura tried to give her a new arc with the "I'm learding magic now XD" bullshit, but it's uninteresting as fuck.

How exactly was she strong character before, she was a brainwashed spoiled little bitch.
Now when she's with Guts's party is the first time in her life she knows exactly what she wants

not being shackled by religion gives her a whole new perspective to the world, and she wants to know more about that world i.e. magic, apostles and everything else.

You can't sacrifice a branded man.

fucking RIGHT?
Fucking killed me how he just loses everything good about him over the course of the manga.
I mean, I suppose that's the main point of the manga, but it was tough to read.

and the ending
fuck the ending
MC gets killed by fucking comic relief characters
fuck that

>>139467142
Her strength came from her adversity. Her delusions and strange fetishes were the result of the fuckness that she went through as a child, and they were what kept her together. Even though they were not character traits that were good for her as a person, they were what enabled her to deal with the terrible things she experienced later on, like going to war. After she lost her delusions, she became unable to effectively deal with the madness that surrounds her.

I miss farnese when she was filled with poise and purpose

all we have now is a simplified lets be reasonable, lets be sensitive to others and their feelings, lets doubt everything and everyone and ourselves non-stop

in fucking berserk. The manga that is all about flying off the handle and butchering everyone in a fit of rage. Miura's gotten old and softened with age and it shows
