Yes, I do. I'm attracted to characters that have a tragic past or are facing their fears constantly throughout their life. Growing up in a family made of narcissistic parenting and extreme levels of manipulation, neglection and abuse (physical and emotional), I always kept thinking to myself that this is normal, that everyone has this type of famillies. I knew deep inside, that it was a lie. I've dreamed of getting away, of "resurrecting" and actually living life instead trying to survive day after day without too much emotional damage and the false love of my parents.

That's why there's a specific character I've always loved, ever since age 4 or so.

Her name is Jean Grey, and nevermind what - She always rises from the ashes. Jean's a strong person who has her anxiety or traumas, yet always tries to face them. She's the personification of what I always wanted to be, releasing myself from my abusers.

...Sorry about that. I can't have this kind of chat without getting emotional or having an outburst. :/

But basically, this kind of characters are heavily attached to my identity. That's why I always search for redemption in characters. That's also why people like Amora (Enchantress), Madelyne and else are important to me. They're not even villains, yet they're so broken with no one to help & they're hiding it through several ways. They may not look like heroes to the general public, but to me, for what they went through, they damn right are.
