Poor, poor Hero. He’s so desperate to do the right thing even though he doesn’t know what that is. He is the voice of our own that we hear the most and the most stable.
Hero can fight against the Tower and the Broken when they want us to kill ourself. He can also briefly take over from the Paranoid to keep us alive. However, apart from those two things, he is almost always powerless when it comes to actually changing things. Mostly, he can just advise us and then watch what we choose.
Hero hates Lovecraftian geometry, can get overwhelmed if there are too many voices and becomes as broken as the Broken (though he breaks in his own way) in the Moment of Clarity.
I think Hero is a big part of the reason way we don’t die when the Princess kills us. Yes, the Narrator says he made plans for such an eventuality. However, I think part of the reason we come back is because Hero doesn’t think we will die at the end of chapter one.
He gets some really funny lines and interactions with everyone; from being the voice of reason, to being the straight man against the other voices’ over-the-top personalities or even getting to be odd himself.
Hero tells the Smitten to calm down because we hardly know the Princess but we can still do right by her. He tries cheer up the Broken or get you to ignore his suggestions/influence when the Broken does things that will get you hurt. Hero even worries about the Narrator if he gets unexpectedly upset rather than annoyed and missies him when he’s gone.
Sometime, Hero just wants to leave an obviously bad situation and go look at a bird.
Hero is always scared before he disappears but he trusts us when we reassure him. I just want him to be happy and have a say in things.

I think the horror of deconstructed damsel comes from the realization you loved someone you never truly knew. The crash of the idolization when you realize you've just been projecting an ideal onto someone who could never be that and coming to terms with that. We turned the princess into a helpless damsel and robbed her off her personhood, then destroyed her by trying to find a person where there was none anymore.

Sure you can fix her but I can break free of the constructs confining us and step into the infinite with her
