new halloween characters

I'm not sure what makes you assume that I'm young, but if we're talking about the artists of granblue, I'm surprised that you're solely mentioning Hideo Minaba. Minaba did make a lot of designs, but the art director for the game is actually Akihiko Yoshida which means that he's the one to decide in the end. Granted, they're both ex-Square enix employees and their artstyles are very similar.

While they're big names, we mustn't forget that along with other artists they form Cydesign, the team behind the game.

I actually did mention the puppets

people pretty much drop the dolls and the bloodstains on her dress

The puppets are a nice touch and adds a lot to her personality, but they're often overlooked by people. When someone mentions Danua, they're usually not talking about Danua with Hansel and Gretel.

If we're really digging deeper into Danua, then let me say this. You forgot to mention that Danua is a traumatised girl that needs her dolls in order to communicate with people. People are afraid of her due to the way she looks, with her bloodstained dress and her dolls. Nevertheless, she turns out to be nice a person who doesn't want to harm people at all. In the end she gets the thing she longed for, even if it was short lived.

If we're really going to describe characters like that though, then it's a tad bit unfair. Let's take Aletheia for example, who happens to have a very basic (and a tad bit) generic design. He's an old magical dual wielding swordsman.

That being said, you're entitled to your own opinion. While it's a bit hard for me to understand that you'd find the rest of the cast's designs generic compared to Danua, it's at the end of the day your opinion and not mine. Besides, this doesn't change the fact that Danua is one of the better written characters in the game.
