The illusion of the "supportive female lead" vanishes when comparing the trajectory of self-actualization against raw output. While a gap exists between YPS-3 and YPS-4, the real tension lies in the identical Ego scores of 30, revealing that both characters are tethered to the protagonists' orbits despite their disparate paths. Sylphiette’s high Growth score reflects a deliberate, additive process—transforming from a bullied child into the masked operative Fitts to bridge the gap to Rudeus. Her evolution is a climb toward a specific, chosen destination: stability. In contrast, Emilia’s Growth is subtractive. She does not build a persona; she strips away the layers of the "Witch" projection and the cognitive obstructions imposed by her past. Her journey from a fragile half-elf to a political contender in the Royal Selection is an act of reclamation rather than acquisition. Sylphiette finds power to belong; Emilia finds power to exist independently of the world's hatred. This distinction proves that the "devoted" archetype is not a lack of agency, but a different application of it. Sylphiette uses her agency to secure a domestic anchor, while Emilia uses hers to dismantle a societal cage. The data shows that while Sylphiette’s arc is a more dramatic climb in terms of skill and confidence, Emilia’s struggle is more fundamental because she fights against a world that has already decided who she is.
