General's Lady - Favourite character

As the plot of the series goes on, I am starting to get a better idea of the story and the personalities of all the different characters, and, of course, I am starting to prefer some characters rather than others. We all do at some point. Maybe because we feel connected to that character's backstory or personality, or maybe the producer did a good job with their personality, the reasons are countless. In my case, I relate to a specific character of this story a lot because we think and act in the same way. That character is the protagonist's servant. I relate to her so much because she cares a lot about Jin'er and she is always with her, to make sure she's alright.
I feel the same exact way about my friends: I always think twice before saying something, to make sure I don't hurt them or make them uncomfortable in any way; I always make sure they're alright and remind them that they can talk to me if they want to get something out of their chest and at the same time I keep them company so that they don't feel lonely. I feel like the lady's servant would act the same way if she was a teenager like me, but since she's an adult she gives her more space to live her life, too. At the same time, though, I feel like she's a vital character in the story, since the protagonist isn't careful and doesn't think twice before doing something, the servant is there to help her out. This is why I like this character so much.
