That's actually what I initially wanted when I created my main character. A normal girl that would find herself involved in crazy things happening around her.
The problem with that kind of character happens when nothing too remarkable actually happens *falls over*. Such was my case. In such a large community, important plots that actually make any change in the world seem to be reserved for FCs, in events which mostly take place in American timezones. Public events tend to be of the social kind (which are fun as well and I love them, but they don't really get characters involved in any plot).
Alas, Clover hasn't developed much because she hasn't been involved in any sort of adventure. She's always there, doing her thing while nothing critical actually happens to change her world.
(A Spanish friend is going to make a plot soon though. A real plot. So I guess Clover will finally have a story. I understand this kind of thing is best developed in small groups.)
So yes, normal characters made to go with the flow also come with a risk.
