it hasn't, don't worry!
why do i love curren... i think it's a good question...
her design grabbed me even when i used to be a hater, it stood out like crazy. and i like cute and even sometimes burikko type characters, so at the very least, it was natural that i would come to like curren. but beyond that, i was met with a great character. above all else i love her pride, her dignity. she knows what she wants and won't stand down, and will not hesitate to get her hands dirty to get it. but she will not harm others in the process. she's kind to those who ask her for advice and helps them, but also isn't afraid to take pointers in things she is weak in. all this while keeping up appearances... she doesn't like to show that she's in trouble, and hides that, since she's a perfectionist...
yup, a bonafide girlboss.
i have big trauma from my idoltwt days about people hating cute characters and dismissing them (circa like 2015) but this kind of thing is not as widespread anymore, but curren falls victim to not only this but the fact that many will reduce her to her negatives because they can't handle her as a character.
either way, i think it's amazing they made a burikko that isn't a caricature. she lives to be cute because she wants to be cute. i love that self conviction. it makes sense why even though she's not an ikeonna type, she's still relatively popular with female uma fans. fellow oneechans of the world, te amo🩷
