Thank you for your input! I definitely do have a goal in mind for what I'm doing; the situation is quite personal to me as someone who has gone head to head with trauma. I definitely agree it can be super eye-roll inducing!
My hopes for it is the kind of character development I can see from it. When she remembers her past, will she break, or will it make her stronger? The possibility of it giving her a new goal, one that perhaps she can move forward to with the people she meets.. Of course, there are definitely other ways of getting this effect, but I do feel like this is something I can go deep into as a player. Repressed memories are awful, and they come back in so many different ways.. and I'm almost positive she'll start remembering things as soon as she stops hiding in corners all the time.Â
Seeing it from a different angle definitely helped me think it through more, though, thank you! Of course, there's always her life from before everything went down to think of, too, because she will eventually have to face it. At that point, taking care of parents or running a store- those things would definitely explain some of her hobbies and skills.
