What do I care about?

@Heroic

I wouldn't know.

I don't think the motivation is all that difficult—Koishi's perspective was totally changed by her interactions with Reimu and Marisa on Youkai Mountain, and I think that she would be overjoyed to have an opportunity to resolve an incident.

Her ability has been shown to not be all-encompassing forgetfulness (otherwise Hopeless Masquerade couldn't have happened), so I choose to interpret it more long the lines of being gradually forgotten by anyone without any real connection to her. Given the length of time most indents are and the hope that it'll build some real relationships between her and the other 2hus, I had figured it would make for some interesting situations with NPCs without harming any interactions with the main cast. If it's still a problem, a magic forget-me-not could be used to write around it.

I can switch if you think it'll harm the story, but I think that ZUN gave her character enough slack to be included in incidents.

Get to the point where they can’t mess with me anymore.

@Heroic

What if they threaten the things you care about?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Uh, well if you know they did that then you know they're probably not a hero. To be fair, a lot of the ancient heroes had glory as a primary motivation.

@Balance

In some cultures, but if that disqualifies you, then are you narrowing heroes to those pure of heart?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I wouldn't necessarily do that either. But I think there's room to say "that's probably a hero to a lot of people".

@Balance

What about someone who saves a life to make themselves look good?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Only two would guarantee my problems go away. Most of the rest of us don’t get along but it’s not like they’re impeding me in any way anymore.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

No, that I guarantee.

@Heroic

What are you going to do about it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I mean, they did do you pretty badly, and that's terrible. But aren't they saving people, too?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, I don't know. I still think it's very based on points of view.

@Balance

I agree. Which is why I think it's hard to sell someone as a "true hero."

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

All I can do is keep getting better so I don’t have to settle for being under the boot of others anymore.

@Heroic

Are they going to stop trying?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

No. No, I’m not.

@Heroic

What are you going to do, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Nope. But if something does come up, I’ll let you know. Count on that.

@Heroic

So are you going attack your home?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I just hate pity. Makes me feel low. Otherwise I’m fine as long as you’re not blatantly trying to tick me off. Which you aren’t, and I respect that.

@Heroic

Anything else?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Sure, I suppose you’ve got me there.

@Heroic

If there's something you don't want me to say, you're going to have to ask.
