I guess it's not too far off from most fan interpretations, but I don't see Daisy as abrasive as a lot of people like to make her. She can be pouty and spoiled. but it's probably my biggest pet peeve about other Daisy fans in how much they make her act like some annoying tumblr girl/Karen that just does what she wants, forgetting she's still a princess with her own standards. She has her own insecurities, just as Luigi does, and because she knows he has somewhat of a reputation as being the "lesser" Mario brother, she does her best to prop him up and help him realize that he's so much more capable than he gives himself credit for. I know this sounds so much like a "I can fix him" dynamic, but I promise it's not intentional, lol. On the opposite end, Luigi's struggle comes from how much he's internalized the negative stigma around him, despite proving it wrong time and time again. He's afraid of failure and often doesn't think he can measure up to Daisy's standards, and in many ways he sympathizes with the fact that she has all these high expectations she has to meet as a monarch. This is compounded by the fact that he has such strong ties to Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom, and the distance between Daisy and himself when she's in Sarasaland puts some strain on his willingness to commit to something more serious because he thinks it would be turning his back on his family and home (Mario would totally support him though, even if he would be sad to see Luigi go).
