So there's this story, right? And in it there's this girl..
Yeah
Tragic backstory. Parents, murdered in cold blood.
Oh no
Right? Obviously traumatizing for her, incredibly damaging. Yet she is strong, she moves on, actually gets quite successful.
Yeah? What's she do?
Well, she's a model. But not just any model! An incredibly famous one, like WORLD famous. She uses her looks, as well as her charm to woo people. She worked very hard to get to where she is, and her talent is very recognized.
Wow, that's very impressive for someone with such a troubled past. She must have a very strong will.
Absolutely. But it gets better. You see, she knows how to use that charm. So much, she charms the supernatural.
Woah.
Yeah. She cozies up to a literal God of Death, and makes a deal with them. She gains incredible powers, and uses these powers to avenge her parents.
Wow! Good for her!
Right? Even more, another Death God falls in love with her, and sacrifices their life to save her when a crazed fan tries to murder her!
A being so powerful throwing away it's life for her? That's astounding!
It gets better. Through her sheer wit, cunning, charm, and smarts, she is the only person to, by herself, along with her powers, manage to find the identity of an incredibly powerful and wanted serial killer. The entire world is after this person. He's also using similar powers as her, and she not only finds him before anyone else does, including quite literally the most famous and powerful detective on the planet, a man who's NEVER lost a case, but she does all this without him even knowing he was being tracked!
Wow! This character sounds incredible! So much talent, so much depth! Surely the media she's in revolves around her right? She HAS to be a main character!
Huh? Oh, no. She's like, a side character at best, played up for her looks and used as a pawn, then basically forgotten about and treated like a bimbo. The main character is a cop's son with a God complex who throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants and treats her like garbage. Oh, did you expect anything more for her?
