Since this is probably the closest anon is ever going to get to actually approaching me about these issues, I figured I’d just respond here:
Where are you getting the idea that she’s “naive” to danger? She has ongoing CR with maybe two villains at the moment: two conversations with Bellatrix (whom she’s openly admitted to NOT trusting), and a log where Scarecrow tagged her as a visiting doctor. That’s it. Otherwise, her main CR consists of characters like Max, Ginny, Harry Potter, Damian, Nill, Gretel, Monster, etc. I’m fairly certain Zoidberg and Bender don’t count as dangers to her, either. Frankly, unless she somehow manages to piss off and make an enemy out of Damian, the biggest danger to her right now is Trowa. And I think it’s pretty obvious why she still hangs around him. Most other CR fizzled out for one reason or another the longer she’s been in the City.
I didn’t involve her in the Skrull plot, except to briefly have her get hurt (and even then, not seriously). Her previous logs and posts have involved subjects such as Fairy Tales, Zoos, Carnivals, and other child-apropriate themes. Yes, she does occasionally talk about more mature subjects, such as death and trust. It comes with the territory of being a character growing up in war times. She has opinions about these things based on personal experiences. She spent a god majority of her time hanging around soldier camps full of older male soldiers, where even the captain has admitted to occasionally forgetting she was still "just a child". She hears things adults say when they don't think she's listening. She watched a boy her age nonchalantly blow up half his teammates because they betrayed him. She stood in a field of corpses she was responsible for getting killed and basically said “I did what I had to do” with the straightest face. That’s her character, and I really don’t understand why Damian gets a pass in all this and she doesn’t.
THAT BEING SAID, I will make you a deal anon: I will assume that these are legitimate concerns of more than one individual, and take it as constructive criticism. I’ll work on toning down the darker themes (though, for characterization purposes, I won’t omit them completely) and try to stay away from more of the villains and dangers so that people won’t be uncomfortable (despite the fact that the CR I’ve spoken to OOC have no problem with any of it themselves). And if there is anybody who I have personally offended somehow, I will apologize here and now. Is this fair?
no subject
