And this may be equally hard to believe, but a lot of the most joyful and cheerful-looking people you meet are just that; cheerful and joyful. Too many people assume that "orphan" equals "tragic backstory resulting in repressed feelings of sadness and depression". Now I'm not gonna sit here and presume to psychoanalyse NORA of all people (I prefer my sanity where it is, thank you very much), but the ONLY hints of depression we've seen from her were A) regarding the brief hints where we see her seemingly unrequited feelings for Ren, and B) when Jaune and Nora are missing during the evacuation. For all we know, she doesn't even remember/care about her parents. It's fine to theorize, but there's no evidence to support this other than "she's really happy and peppy, and sometimes people like that are sad and kill themselves".
