Filia appears to be left-handed.

-OFFICIAL ART

In the official art, Filia generally always holds things or poses with her left hand.

'''But in these two, she's holding her drink in her right hand. (Well, I guess Samson is, but...) ... Which, surprisingly, furthers the evidence. Generally, when you eat, your silverware is on your dominant side so you don't knock your drink over. It's a bit suspicious how she does things with her left hand in all the other art, but ONLY when she has a drink is she using her right hand. And judging by how you're supposed to have your drink in your non-dominant hand... uh, yeah.'''

'''The concept art is actually a bit tough, because she seems to switch, but here, we have an actual picture of her holding a writing utencil. Aaaaaaaaaaand lefty.'''

'''Once again, left hand posing, and drink in right hand. The images aren't on the wiki, but her other attacks further that she's left-handed. Also! Sprites are generally created facing to the right, which means that when she turns around, sprite ambidexterity kicks in, which really doesn't mean anything because that happens to every character. See characters like Kirby, Mega Man and Link in early Zelda games for examples of sprite ambidexterity examples.'''

FURTHER DETAIL

Well, her heaviest kicks are done with her right foot, and generally, your dominant foot is opposite of what your handedness is, so...

So, there we go. Filia's probably a lefty. And by probably, I mean definitely from a design standpoint. I'm a lefty too who overanalyses handedness, so I was super surprised when I noticed this for the first noticed this and all.
