I tend to think of the Female Warrior inspiring him to be an adventurer, and Sill pushing him to be a hero despite himself, mostly because she sees him as one and despite his own impulses, he can't help but try to live up to her expectations. A good example being the end of Rance 02 where he'd have just ditched Kathtom if not for her nagging. I agree that after having spent years saving the day with Sill he learned to care about others in a more general fashion, you mention Rance IX ( wouldn't know of that sadly :(  ) but even as early as Sengoku he shows real compassion to the route girls (Kouhime, Isoroku, Kenshin).

Now that I think about it, he's actually a really good example of how doing the good thing even for the wrong reasons can change you ^^
