[T-A-C] Marte: how delirious do we need to get you in order to write a maid tier list
@t-a-c never ask me for anything ever again (you may feel free to ask me for things in the future.)
I will be rating the maids that I know of on the following criteria, on a baseline scale of 1-10:
Are they actually a maid: A yes or no question. If they are not actually a maid then they are disqualified but will still get ratings anyway because it makes the list funnier.
Modesty: How reasonable their maid uniform is. The "sexier" the costume is, the lower the score.
Professionalism: How they behave while on the job. The more they flirt with/actively torment/etc their employer, the lower the score.
Competence: How good they actually are at performing domestic tasks, such as cooking and cleaning. The worse they are, the lower the score.
Combat proficiency: How effective they are in battle. The more of a liability they would be in a fight, the lower the score.
Devotion: How devoted they are to their employer. The more disinterested they are, the lower the score.
Extra input: A miscellaneous category that does not award points, but is more room for my own observations and extra opinions.
I will be going down the line from series that I know about. I do not actually actively seek out maid content - it mostly finds me. But I'm bored, so whatever.
(Don't expect to see Rem on this list because I never watched Re:Zero.)
i am not inserting images as i’ve already spent two and a half hours on this fucking awful post like three people are going to read. find images yourself

This game has at least one maid.
LUCOTTE
IS A MAID: Yes

COMPETENCE: 5/10 (seems decent enough at chores but will break brooms using them as weapons)
COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (trainer NPC for the Etoile class; helps all Etoiles grow stronger)
DEVOTION: 10/10 (loves her friends and all her peers and will protect them with her life)

DIDO
IS A MAID: Yes
MODESTY: 1.5/10 (imagine albert designed a maid cafe uniform and you have dido)
PROFESSIONALISM: 3/10 (she has severe anxiety issues that get in the way of her behavior but is at least not actively trying to jump the commander's bones)
