No i'm just really sick I know all this stuff the reason I just never wrote her as a depressed mopey character is because that's just not how she would take things. Instead of letting it mess up what idiotic hope she still had for her life she would just ignore or purposely forget all of the past shit she went through so she could eventually live a more successful life.
Which brings me to this- After the Sawyers, the character that most earned their wealth and well-being at the end of first gen without it manifesting as "oh let's just give the character wealth cause they deserve it" is probably Serenity. She went through all of that crap and instead of becoming a crackwhore or killing herself she just carried on and made bank, effectively returning herself to the peaceful state of wealth and happiness she had before her mother died, she lost all of her money, and all of those things happened to her.
