My point is, it doesn't really add anything to the roleplay you'll actually be doing. It's just a special detail that makes her origin unique and cannot be used by anyone else or built upon because it has no grounding in the game lore, and thus no common acceptance.
THe sad part is you can come up with a "special" character that's completely lore compliant if people don't like playing "normal" characters, but they never actually look into the lore with any depth to do so. They just see it as an obstacle and thats really sad
