Roen lives by her ideals and morals. She believes that if she does what is right, she has done what is best.
But as her current arc shows, doing what she believes is the right thing has led to many sorrows.
I do allow the setting and perhaps other characters with different ideals to Undermine Roen's beliefs and goals. Nero has been her primary foil in the story. And as their conflicts go, there is a Catch-22 to her goals. Can she maintain her virtue while trying to change a system that does not want to be changed? It is a recurring conflict for her in the current arc that one must be sacrificed for the other. And the telling of the story was a cooperative effort, both I and others had a say in the result.
It is also my belief is that none of my characters should remain static. That is what RP is all about. How the environment and those around them affect the character's growth and development interest me. I made Roen young (in her twenties) for a reason. She has yet to learn some of the harsh lessons in life, even though she is not entirely naive nor ignorant. The plots she has been involved in has challenged her beliefs, whether it be in others, in herself, or in the world. How she comes away from those challenges is her journey.
