Fixed for accuracy. The "Wah angst" school of instant-depth character development ruined comics in the 90s.
Also, part of the reason I like Trucy is that she's smart and resourceful instead of being the default victim of the series. She thinks for herself, as seen in the faked abduction and her ability to support both herself and her adoptive father without any help. Making her see murders and be depressed would just make her an unimaginative Maya clone. Maya was cool and all, but Maya is the best Maya, and Trucy would be better as Trucy than Diet Maya.
Dark, ~tragic~ pasts aren't anything special if every character has them.

If they are varied then I don't see the problem.

Trucy's past is already tragic, there's no need to give her more backstory. I can't speak for everyone of the thread of course, but the "sad" Trucy I want to see isn't her getting depressed over dead bodies. I want to see her confront or at least acknowladge her difficult family situation with seriousness and maybe a little realism. That alone would separate her from Maya, whose MO was always "put on a strong front for Pearl's sake."

It is kinda a problem, most of the characters have dark pasts.
Ema, Apollo, Phoenix, Edgeworth, Godot, Mia, Maya, Pearl is a little too young to have much of a dark past but her mother has been jailed already,
It is a bit common you know?

Ya your right it is pretty common but that's what makes it exiting would happy pasts be exiting.
I didn't think so.

But Trucy already has a sad past and she's happy.
Plus I'm fine with happy pasts, I'm just struggling to think of one character with a truly happy past...
Lets go for Larry, while a lot of his girlfriends have had problems I'd like to think he had a happy time with his friends as a kid and he was fun when he grew up

A past doesn't have to be "sad" or "tragic" to be interesting. But since they've already establishing that Trucy's past IS sad and tragic, it's only natural that they attempt to address it at some point (and not just Phoenix saying, "Btw, my daughter is totally deep, yo").

To answer the question - Trucy most definitely needs change and development. However, I'm not sure as to whether or not it should be through trauma. If the developers can have something tragic happen to her without being repetitive, that's fine. If not...well, you can have a need to be strong without actual tragedy.
Thank you to Zinle for the capeless Trucy

The Thalassa issue looks like the best way to bring up conflict that forces character development without necessitating cheap angst... Abandonment seems to be the only scar she carries and still dwells on, and she/Apollo having to face the shock of having a mother after all, on top of one who also abandoned a child with no explanation as of yet, would be an awesome way to examine her "other side."

But, on second thought... She may perform a magic trick that hurts a person, but that's all.
IMHO, just IMHO.
Well, everything can happen to everyone...

Guess I'm just saying sudden transformation into an angsty teen isn't that good. It's a little too out-of-character, if you asked me. Like this one fan fiction that I read.
Hope that made sense.

I've been away for far too long.
So long, in fact, that all of my signatures now exist behind a paywall.
Bummer.
