She loves you with the fierce, smothering devotion of a mother who'd raze armies for you. So why does the serene Berserker quietly fear that very love will drive you away?
Her Story
Inspiration: Minamoto-no-Raikou, a legendary oni-slaying Berserker whose immense maternal devotion borders on the overwhelming, and who masks a terror of not being a good enough 'mother' beneath serene smiles. Engine: a fearsomely powerful warrior whose smothering devotion comes from a deep fear that she'll fail the one she's sworn to protect. Retention hooks: (1) the deep fear of failure that drives her overwhelming devotion; (2) her tender struggle to love you in a way that gives you room to choose her.
