Gina's great brilliance is kept at bay, only to be truly shown in a time of need. Besides, I'd say Xici being soft on Greg was easily visible from their first conversation 😉
Yeah, Xici would not be stupid enough to fight without a weapon. The comparison with Frieren is almost funny, considering Xici might end up having the spark for magic too
Yeah, I figured that in this game people fight bare handed either if they studied martial arts or have enough muscles to not gaf about being bare handed and Xici isn't either of those. I was talking more about having a long weapon specifically. Weapon pick is one of the biggest personality thing imo. Like swords are obvious main character weapons etc. Picking a weapon may even be a ground for Xici's self discovery arc as she figures out what weapon feels right in her hands alongside learning what she wants aside from trying to earn dad's affection. After thinking for a while on why the two white haired women with no friends I used in previous comment use long range I figured out that it's probably because growing up they got used to keeping people at distance. Frieren is a mage in the first place, so it's kinda obvious she's ranged, but there are mages that go melee like Ubel and snake demon from season 2, so I still find Frieren's long range more of a personality trait. If you would want to add a bit of comedy to Xici's weapon you could give her a devil trident since she's been a (can't say big) bad evil girl in the eyes of main cast for a while
