The Interesting Thing I Noticed About Mizu Before Being Betrayed By Her Husband And Mother Is That She

the interesting thing i noticed about Mizu before being betrayed by her husband and mother is that she was a lot softer back then. Like in episode one she's demanding and ready to cut a bitch for information, but back then she was more cordial, asking politely for information from the first few guys she run into who stab her and throw her out. She even puts her sword away after defending herself to show she didn't want trouble.

And onto her time living as a woman she was willing to give up her own path for her mother's security. She really did try to be a good wife too. When she spooked the horse by mistake she looks upset that she'd kinda messed up that chance to get closer to her husband (since he got mad at her like a dick sdfhjsfh), so she tries to make up for it by trying to cook. That doesn't work so she makes up for that by going back out and helping him with the horses a little more and finally striking up a conversation about the horses. And of course we had the moment where Mikio called her a monster, she tried to make up for that by dolling herself up in an attempt to be a pleasing wife again.

She really did try, like a lot, to fit in and be kind and keep people's love. Her going cold after al that makes sense. Like in a way she feels like she's done everything she could to keep people but to no avail so she might as well go down her own path of revenge with no place for love, or friendship or weakness.
