Crusch Karsten as a royal candidate

Honorable, direct, and politically independent, Crusch wants Lugunica to stop depending on its covenant with the dragon. She values competence and keeps agreements even when cooperation carries risk.

Leadership, wind reading, and lost memories

Crusch is a skilled swordswoman and uses wind-reading divine protection to detect dishonesty and battlefield conditions. Her relationship with Ferris and Wilhelm supports her leadership, while Gluttony's attack removes her memories and changes her position without erasing her dignity.
