I have a wide array of characters who probably need years of trauma therapy. Please help me determine if they are to understated or too exaggerated in the aspects of their personalities.
Katherine Kalinski - Her parents were the owners of a particularly successful company. They put up with each other mostly for their social images and for the fact that marriage warrants nice tax breaks. However, when Katherine was conceived, her mother left when she was four. Her father wanted nothing to do with her, choosing to ignore her at every possible opportunity even though she showed great talent in mathematics and science. She grew up introverted and scared of everything, without friends because she never knew how to interact with them, and always under severe performance anxiety. (She gets better when she meets the protagonists, though.)
Edward Walker - Much like Katherine, Edward was born into a rich family who thought themselves superior to everyone else. One crucial difference, however, was when he was in his early twenties, he met the girl of his dreams -- who turned out the be the antagonist of the story. To him, it was true love; to her it was instant money. To everyone else, it was a particularly odd couple -- the beautiful, independent Lillian Winter marrying scrawny, timid Edward Walker. However, it was when they were wed when she began to show her true colors: a selfish, manipulating abuser who cared nothing for him. However, he was desperate for companionship, and continued to put up with (and soon disregard completely) her treatment of him. When Lillian is arrested and prosecuted for her crimes, he supports her in court, despite it being obviously a losing case.
Lillian Walker - the wife of Edward Walker, Lillian was born into the Winter family, which was notorious for their weaponry smuggling and illegal activity. However, due to government restrictions, the Winters were forced to live in the criminal-filled, disease-ridden Laurel City. Two of Lillian's younger sisters died from disease and her oldest sister set out to build her own fortune. Lillian became bitter, resentful, and obsessed with obtaining her wealth in order to recreate the life she had before. Her innocent appearance and her ability to cover her tracks gained her a vast fortune. However, Lillian continued to play out her illegal affairs, and had no qualms with manipulating others to get what she wanted.
What do you think? I hope to see constructive criticism from a great therapist like you!
