Ferris is mad hot but I'm have trouble taking her seriously with the way her 'personality' has been displayed. All I've seen her show any passion for is dumplings, screwing with Ryner, and obeying her brother. She goes well out of her way with respect to the first two which makes me wonder if she's compensating for something or if she's just that vapid and uncaring by nature.
This episode had a glimmer of hope for me near the end when Ferris looked like she might possibly intimate that she somewhat appreciated Ryner not leaving her to bleed to death in the middle of that field. But Ryner, being the ultimate ladies man that he is, seemed to perceive this, acknowledge it with a look of his own, and diffuse the tension of the situation effortlessly. I think this left the proud and stubborn Ferris little cause to reflect on the way she behaves and perhaps develop some more normal social skills with him. While I applaud Ryner for deftly handling the situation without inflicting any overt harm to her ego I didn't like how it strengthened the image of Ferris as being too emotionally weak to openly admit gratitude or give any respect to Ryner despite him earning at least some. That said I suppose it would be somewhat different if she really did have little to no development over the course of the story and continued to simply be self-absorbed and violent for no reason beyond a lack of empathy or compassion.
