I've been thinking about this and I just have to ask: Does EVERYONE in this series have some sort of messed up past?

Why can't there be at least one developed character who had a nice childhood, a loving family, no angst, a little dog, and no tragic backstory and expose them to the realities of the world in order to test if their ideals stay the same or change? If they just keep on playing the tragic backstory thing, then that would be melodramatic and cheapens the actual tragic stuff.
