I agree. Even in the few "feminine but strong" female lead shows/Manga a majority of those have her as physically strong or give her a supernatural power. I've rarely seen a "simple", feminine, emotionally strong character like Sasha.
I think this is a good step in female character design in anime because, unlike anime with plain male leads, this "plain female lead" still has personality and is very well written.
Honestly one reason I really love Sasha is because she a strong but still feminine female lead. As much as I love a good fighter we honestly don't see that many female mcs with feminine traits that are portrayed in a positive light. I wish there was more stories like this
