Kino no Tabi -the Beautiful World-

What kind of character is Kino?
Is she a hero, anti-hero, antagonist to those around her, or a silent observer to the world she travels?
I see a lot of talk about the events in currently airing episodes, but what about her as a person and all the characteristics that make her up?
Also where is she traveling to? What is her end goal in life? Where will her journey ultimately take her to?

So many questions that I hardly see discussed and even rarely answered in these threads.
Kino just seems like the kind of MC that warrants good hard discussion, so why pass it all up?

Kino is Kino.

Kino is Kino.

Silent Observer, only becomes an anti hero when forced to get involved in a situation.

Watch or read her backstory.

Around the world, no real goal, wherever it takes her.

And what exactly does this mean to you?
What and who exactly is Kino from your point of view?
Describe it, don't just keep posting "Kino is Kino."

>only becomes an anti hero when forced to get involved in a situation.
Do you think she regrets getting involved in situations that make her into such a person?
