@syaochan I don't hate Jeannette and rather pity her, but it's understandable why she's such a dislikable character to the fandom. We've followed Athy for the entire story, and are sympathetic to her struggling throughout her childhood to be loved by Claude. I think the dislike largely stems from the fact that in comparison to Athy who is forced to behave contrary to her Claude-fearing thoughts due to knowing he kills her in the original plot, Jeannette is a simple-minded character who only thinks about the world in black-and-white, i.e. she will get the fairy tale ending of having a loving father (Claude), sister (Athy), and husband (Ezekiel), and never questions anything around her. It rubs me the wrong way that in the original storyline, she shows up at the ball without considering what it means for essentially another heir to the throne to show up out of the blue, and apparently does nothing to build a relationship with Athy in that timeline which could prevent Claude from killing her. She comes off as entitled when she rejoices that both Athy is staying at her mansion and Claude continues requesting for her presence, even while knowing that Claude is the one who kicked Athy out of the palace in the first place. I think the amnesia arc is so insufferable to many people because of the extended scenes of Jeannette being happy about spending time with Claude without considering that her happiness is at the expense of Athy's. Jeannette is also weirdly possessive of Athy to the point of being upset when Ezekiel becomes aware of Athy's presence in their mansion, yet she has never asked about Athy's upbringing or relationship with Claude and is seemingly content with being ignorant about the circumstances of her sister and father she supposedly loves so much. She constantly pities herself wishing for a loving family, but never thinks about the possibility that Athy spent a similar childhood feeling unloved by her family. She also never questions why her adoptive father is housing a mysterious man and pours her life story out to him, never thinking about any consequences of spilling her secrets. I believe her intentions are good and she does care for Claude/Athy, but only on a superficial level, since she never really questions anything that goes on around her that could lead to a deeper understanding of Claude/Athy and is genuinely happy with her own naivete that they should be loving family just because they share blood. Her ignorance comes off as willful in order to maintain her own black-and-white worldview and these types of one-dimensional, excessively naive and pure characters are difficult to like, especially when more complex characters like Athy exist in the same universe. Obviously, a lot of these can be explained by the fact that Jeannette is 14 years old and written to be immature, but this is just my take on why she is disliked.
