It's rare enough I don't think about it, but I think it's cute. There's a difference between having closed eyes as a natural face (think pokemon's brock), and having closed eyes because they're conveying some other emotion in the moment and it's natural for anyone to close their eyes. >>46811547 is spot on with the atmosphere it can bring. But in detailed art I think it works better for her eyes to be very narrow since it brings about the same feel. For less detailed works closed eyes are fine since it mimics that simple porcelain fox mask look. It's very foxlike either way and fits certain moods and tone you're trying to convey through the art. Still, Ran has very pretty eyes and it would be a shame to hide them all the time.

I think it would be fun and fulfilling just to see her reactions to having a load taken off. Feeding her different foods, doing chores unprompted, and just generally clearing her schedule and making life easy for her. Though a balance needs to be made between keeping her occupied so she doesn't turn into Yukari 2.0, and easing her workload so she isn't overworked with housekeeping on top of whatever orders and jobs she's doing that day.
She's capable of doing it all on her own just fine, I just want to see her smile and soften any bad days she might have; she looks lonely given her circumstances.
