Heena reminds me of Tinkerbell
Well considering she lives her whole life up until now as a civilian, habits realistically can't die easily, and she's surrounded by elites of the company so I can feel her humbleness in front of the boss. Especially since she doesn't know the full potential of her power so being arrogant in the beginning will just not sound right, and her humbleness and politeness is what carried her throughout this story ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
It’s not even a matter of arrogance though. Do people in Korea not negotiate their salary? You don’t need business education at all to be smarter than Heena though. I get being nervous and not wanting to ask for more to your boss or someone in power, but she literally negotiates DOWN. Even if she didn’t realize the worth of her abilities, several world renowned experts have told her at this point. Most people would have just taken his offer (that has no concerning strings attached either). He’s the one who wants her and he came up with an offer that was reasonable in his eyes. It wasn’t even a matter of her knowing a secret that could make performing the job difficult, feeling guilty, or anything that would make sense. Heena’s actions make her seem foolish and unrelatable. There are very few places on the world where civilians don’t have to work hard to keep themselves financially stable. In this scenario, society is unstable from dungeons, so there are fewer jobs available if you get fired or need to quit. On top of that, she recently lost everything she and her brother owned. She has no concept of saving for an emergency or anything like that. Her behavior makes no sense at all in a normal context, but through the lens of her world and personal situation, it’s even more ridiculous.
Well, she did have a savings for emergency as what she told us when she was cleaning her studio, and working in a company that prioritize hunter more on civilian, her being a support awakener is helpful for them. And as she gets into the company by a recommendation of her unnie, it makes sense that she doesn't want to cause trouble as 'to not stain her unnie reputation', but I get what your talking about that her potential is high than what she knows but by looking as her shoes/situation, her power only manifest recently and it gives her random skills at random times at random places/situtations but at least in this chapter 26 she can have high salary since she's only gonna take care of one person, people personality dont change suddenly, well maybe in the future she might encounter a situation that might slightly change her personality a little bit ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I’m really loving this so far, but I get a bit irritated with Heena’s excessive humbleness. I honestly find characters that needlessly undervalue their labor/services really annoying. She has a unique and irreplaceable skill that has a major positive impact on powerful awakeners. A filthy rich awakener made her a reasonable offer for her services that he considered fair, but she refused and did the same thing for a fraction of his offer instead. He can easily afford to pay her even twice what he initially offered. It just seems like a very foolish and sheltered thing to do. She just lost everything she owned so realistically she would be trying to save up for stuff she lost and her new magic house expenses. It doesn’t come across as generous or humble because she’s making this deal with a millionaire who is happy to pay her even more than his initial offer, rather than an average person who would struggle to afford a high fee. It’s such a ridiculous mentality, like she turned down a profit because she only wants to be breaking even on her side hustle.
