Finally we're getting a companion character closer to MC's age...I highly doubt he's meant to be a villain character, because then he likely wouldn't be introduced with a rabbit companion lmao.
I'm glad she's going to be interacting with an intelligent, magically-connected character closer to her age. Frankly having her father escort her everywhere and fawn over here is just such a loss in style points, and her uncle just...doesn't need to be there lol.
