WWX!

Honestly, she found him incredibly refreshing and the person here she could most easily get along with. He has a vibe kind of like her canon friends - goofy and a handful, but able to get serious when the situation calls for it, and battle hardened. There's really nothing in his backstory that can phase her; the part of him where he's used to a lot of bad shit is part of why she likes him. She always knew he'd be there, a sweet goofy gremlin who is deep down as desensitized and ruthless as she is. The only other people like that here were immortals, and...she has some bad feelings about immortals! But someone who can kill or sacrifice others when the situation calls for it is good to her.

She also really grew to like him after his memshare, since it hit a lot of buttons for her. It was really triggering to her given her own shit, but learning he'd done all of that by choice to save his sibling turned her feelings into a lot of admiration. She hates how helpless she was during that time of her life and how she couldn't save any of her siblings, so it made her think highly of him.

All of this is why it really threw her and made her angry when he was pro releasing demons. She knows that's because he's a demon hunter and thinks his world can handle it, but the truth is, Edelgard also thought her world could handle it if they released demons! She just thought the balance of choices here was like. Release demons, creating a situation where we probably beat them, but there's probably a lot of death and a risk we fail and there's a lot more death, or save the lives of twenty people. That choice is just very obvious to her. If she was in a battle, she'd make that sacrifice of twenty people in a heartbeat, even if she had friends among them. She expected a lot of people here to be too soft to see that, since they hadn't experienced war like she has, but she expected him to understand and was disappointed to be wrong.

He didn't actually hurt her feelings at trial. What happened is, when she came to him the night before, she was planning to try to argue her case. Instead, he told her what he knew about the ruins, and she went "Oh! that makes a lot more sense. It's WWX so I trust that and it sounds logical to me." But when she saw the video itself, she thought the interpretation that demons could already escape was wishful thinking, and she was disappointed in herself for having believed him and "fallen for it". She knows he wasn't trying to trick her, but she still felt tricked into believing there wasn't a hard choice. The days before the final trial, she was very indecisive between "I should trust people here and try to work with them" and "I should trust no one and kill the people who are most likely to be a problem." She fell on the side of trust partially because of WWX and was worried she had made a big mistake.

But he didn't release demons so that's in the past! She still likes him, but is kind of extremely aware that they were a few bad decisions (or not getting the dead's letters) from throwing hands, so no longer sees him as someone she thinks shares her values/world view.
