What’s the point of killing her entire extended family? Handled poorly it’s just a cheap way to give drama to a character, removes the possibility of adding alternate interactions when dealing with them, AND completely shuts down various flashback avenues that you can use to world and character build…and what did killing her extended family do to her character? It made her want to be a hunter…question… how did she afford it? Being a hunter has not been shown to be a volunteering thing, otherwise Jaune would have been allowed in there…he certainly wanted it enough to fake his way into another school …but he didn’t volunteer, which suggests there are costs that need to be met in order to become a hunter…cost that a homeless person shouldn’t be able to afford…

Granted, she could have made the money on her own if she was that good…if she wasn’t missing an ARM that is… that kind of kills quite a lot of job options…there is a reason you see crippled people beg on the streets…maybe her aura got unlocked and her semblance was discovered instantly allowing her to make an arm out of trash…who knows, who cares…not you, since you killed her family at 12 but didn’t bother to explain how she made do without one…because clearly that happens all the time and I should be able to figure that out myself...

Let it be said that I’m not against killing an entire extended family… hell, I’m one of the few people that feels nothing but neutrality for Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto series and liked seeing his downward spiral into insanity…but, he seemed to have a story about how, his life got flipped right upside down, and he would like to take a minute, just sit his brother there, and slit his throat so he could be the last Uchiha heir.
