Hi, and welcome to my podcast! This is episode 1, where I discuss Zelie's personality, and why she might act the way she does. Zelie is a very sharp character who can sometimes come off a rude. She is constantly being rude to people who try to be nice. I believe this is a trauma response. Zelie went though A LOT at a relatively young age (watching your mother die, then being left with a kingdom that has just lost all its powers, along with sense-of-self). This could cause Zelie to become subconsciously afraid of loosing people. This is a perfect example of how trauma can impact a person.
