Yes, I added Secrets of the Silent Witch to my watch list and I am, sadly, caught up through episode 7 (somehow, I didn't notice it was still ongoing).
Monica Everett is 16 with the requisite tragic backstory (it appears she was a cheerful, precocious child until she witnessed her father being burnt alive at the stake, all because his research into life-saving stuff/magic was misunderstood). She is intelligent and the first (and only) to master casting without chanting--which she did mainly because she is now painfully, cripplingly shy in front of people and can hardly speak in front of anyone without throwing up or fainting. Though she's now one of the revered 7 Sages, she lives the life of a recluse, though she pops up in emergencies to defeat dragons and whatnot.
That is, until another of the 7 Sages makes her go undercover to protect the second prince, who at first isn't sure if she's infiltrated his school to assassinate him or what.
But she slowly but surely wins over the Student Council (especially including the prince and his most loyal lapdog, Lord Ashley). I have no idea at this point if this will have any romance in it or not, but I would not at all mind if it goes the way of the silver haired tsundere instead of the blonde prince.
She's also making friends for probably the first time in her life (poor dad was killed when she looked to be about 5? and it seems she was perhaps raised after that by an uncle who hated her).
I wasn't sure about it at first because I don't love characters who have no backbone, but she's believable and is trying her best. I'm curious to see how it goes.
