I'm not fixated that Asia needs to fight, i'm just fixated on the fact that Asia has never changed in anything since the start of the series.

I'm not saying Asia needs to fight. Asia doesn't need to fight, but she needs to be able to defend herself even without others which she clearly can't. Aside from being too kind, Asia doesn't have anything else. Even with her healing abilities, Asia needs to avoid using wide scale healing for her allies because she could not avoid healing her enemies as well.

Just view it this way, the enemy has more numbers than the Gremory Team lets 12 to 8, and that group has members with powerful Dragon Slayers abilities in their group, that would instantly make Fafnir and the others Evil Dragons unsuited for defending Asia. Even Ise should have trouble against that type of opponent, so in that very instance, the Gremory's attack strength would have faced troubles. Now add on the fact that the enemy tries to attack Asia so that they can remove the healer first. Who's gonna jump in there and defend her?

Note: My issue isn't with Asia not fighting. It's the fact that with all ongoing with Asia, she seems to be the only member that is still the same since the start of the series. From the start till now, try to list how many times Asia's character has developed or matured? 1 time. That is in Volume 6 when she accepts the fact that she can't take Rias' position but is still determined to be with Ise. But even then her character didn't change much. Like i said, i don't hate her, i even like her initially but after 19 volumes, her character has been hitting me as stale already.
