Rae deliberately plays herself up as being a foolishly happy-go-lucky girl who is obsessed with gaining Claire's affection. However, in reality, this is more of a coping mechanism brought about by her early experiences with exploring her sexuality. She is actually far less open with her true feelings, often bottling them up and covering it with humor. She seeks for Claire's affection and is serious about her love. Although she openly displays her love for Claire and appears to disregard the noble's disapproval of it, she prioritizes the noble's happiness before her own's (even if it hurts her true feelings). This goes to the point where she sets aside her own feelings and encourages Claire to be with Thane Bauer, the noble's crush at the time. This mindset manifested from her past experiences and the knowledge that Claire is not interested in women. However, when Manaria Sousse transfers to the Royal Academy and becomes really close to Claire, Rae struggles to contain her own bottled up feelings due to the fact that the Manaria is a woman. Rae persists and remains thinking that if Claire is happy, she is "happy". This mindset changes when confronted on if she is even serious about her love for Claire and there is a chance of the noble being together with Manaria, which prompts Rae to take extreme actions to defend her own feelings for Claire. Even though Rae openly expresses her love for Claire, she herself is oblivious to the signs of being loved. While Rae runs her errands and accompanies Claire on a hot day, she is confused on why Claire would want to follow her outside in such heat. She does not notice that the noble simply wanted to go on a date with her. On another occasion, during their vacation, Claire asks Rae to sleep in the same bed as her, justifying that the bed is "big" for one. Not getting the hint, Rae insists that she will sleep on the floor while Claire sleeps on the bed by herself due to the actual small bed size.
