Team Lenu or Team Lila? Or do most people feel sympathetic towards both equally?

As far as Lenu’ goes she has been my favorite character from the beginning but now it’s getting to a point where you start wondering when she will find her voice and start to standup for herself. They are both traumatized individuals and the product of a tough/abusive environment. Lila is the high IQ child who isn’t given the chance of an education; Lenu’ is the bright and disciplined student who instead is given the chance. Add the different temperaments and personalities: Lila is more impulsive and volatile; Lenu’ is obedient, quiet and insecure. Ultimately, the serie is about friendship. Through ups and downs at the end, Lila and Lenu’ always find each other. (less)
