hmm for me i think its cuz they're more open than tamarack? like more social and more engaged somehow? cant really word it correctly but tamarack just seems more reserved, also qiu's personality is more like mine so thats why i liked them, still love tamarack tho <33

i think qiu's appeal to most people is that they're just generally more charming in a way. like the previous comment said, it helps that they're open. qiu is naturally a doting person in step 1 who'll go out of their way to look out for the mc in several occasions (at least from my game experience). they'll actively seek you out and look out for you – inviting you to walk to school together, inviting you to join the boys' club, and even more depending on certain dialogue options. i think having the chance to be doted on is comforting to most, and that being qiu's default would ultimately turn them into a fan favorite rather quickly.

that's how i view it at least :] 

I guess a big part is that Tamarack is the kind of person that I would just vibe with introvert style and Qiu is the kind of person who would "adopt" me extrovert style
