No it's because Elaina is hand crafted for domination loss scenarios. She's a thin, petite girl living in a medieval world that isn't kind to women in the way those far off times were, yet she gets to completely bypass those hazards due to her own natural talent. Unlike 90% of the populace in that world, she gets to toy with magical powers that allow her to overwhelm entire armies with a flick of her wand, much less individual fighters. And this power effects her personality in the way you'd expect it to. She's high off her rocker and, even after being specifically humbled by her mentor to fix it, continues to retain a boastful, vain personality. A personality that makes her cocky enough to believe she can tackle the goal of going on a journey to anywhere she pleases. This is the same world, mind you, where most women can't even walk outside at night without having to worry about being raped by bandits. Yet Elaina got to be born with the personal privilege of having enough magical talent to do this. But it doesn't end there, because what makes her even more alluring is the fact that Elaina is aware of her position in relation to the world. Unlike all the doujins with scantily clad knight girls who go wandering into caves and get instantly raped by goblins, Elaina isn't cocky to a fault. She's knows that, even with all her power, she could easily fall into a bad position with the wrong move, which brings out the controversial selfishness in her personality. For the sake of her own safety, she'll turn a blind eye to the misfortune of others, even other women that didn't get to be born as fortunate as her. She'll sit through an entire dinner with a family that owns an enslaved woman, and then leave that house without a single beat of hesitation. It's a hypocritical contradiction in her personality, where for all her cockiness, she's still cautious enough to avoid obvious dangers. Something which just makes her seem even more unattainable, and thus desirable
