   ...but being brave is different from the mindset needed to go on major   
   killing sprees...even if you believe that you are just playing in a video   
   game setting.  There is a reason why most of the shoot-em up gameplayers in   
   our world are not young girls.

   She was timid/mousy.  Unlike Zoe and Lacy, she had apparaently never been   
   exposed to the virtual world of sex swapping, clubbing, and killing.  It   
   does seem odd that she was so sheltered, given her family, but maybe the mom   
   had successfully isolated her from that Tauron mafia way of life?

   Exactly.

   She does seem even worse than just  'the typical teenager' in that respect.   
   I'd like to see more background on the fire at their old home.  Did she   
   start it.  Does she feel that her parents just left her to die (he seemed to   
   admit as much in his 'torture' process, though perhaps he was just aiming at   
   something he knew that she felt rather than something that accurately   
   happened that way)?
