No, it has nothing to do with her being a tsundere.
Summary:
Holo got angry at Lawrence for not saving her directly.
In the light novels, the scene was a bit different.
Holo is not a tsundere, she's just too prideful.
Every time there's a new Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf) episode, fans are hyped about the progression of the relationship between Holo and Lawrence. But this week brought us an upsetting turn: these two fought.
Holo Wanted to Be Saved by Lawrence
Holo got captured in Episode 4, so viewers were expecting a poetic rescue mission from Lawrence. And he does manage to get Holo out unharmed, but instead of being thankful and running into his arms, the girl gets angry at him and even starts a small fight.
Holo's reaction made some fans bring up the tsundere allegations again. In case you don't know what it means: there's an idea that Holo is a type of character who would treat their romantic interest coldly, while concealing their true feelings. But that doesn't seem to be true.
The thing is, Holo was hoping Lawrence would come save her himself. She expected to see him, but another man came to her rescue instead. Lawrence did his part, too, but she wanted him to do all the job.
However, her reaction still seems a bit too much in the anime, and novel readers have an explanation to that.
Do you think Holo's a tsundere?
It Made Her Feel Like a Fool
In the novels, Holo also wanted Lawrence to come for her himself. She really believed that was exactly what was going to happen. Holo was blindfolded, so when a man came to rescue her, she was confident: it was Lawrence. She hugged the man, and only later realized it wasn't Lawrence.
So not only was she disappointed that he didn't come for her, she was also embarrassed by her own behavior. Holo is very prideful, she doesn't like making mistakes and doesn't like feeling betrayed, but this situation made her feel all sorts of things.
All these feelings flooded her mind and she couldn't control herself. She was disappointed that Lawrence hadn't done everything the way she wanted him to. She was sad that it wasn't Lawrence who had set her free. And she was embarrassed that she allowed herself to trust someone so fully.
It doesn't mean that Holo's a tsundere. On the contrary, she keeps flirting with Lawrence and teasing him, she's never been truly cold towards him, the first signs of attraction are obvious.
Holo has a very intricate and prideful personality, and doesn't like feeling like a fool. But the entire rescue mission made her feel like one, so she got a bit too angry and let her emotions take control.
