Talk:Willow Schnee/@comment-33042871-20191222092916/@comment-33042871-20191222122922

I can understand someone being depressed and being able to hide it, or trying to hide it from their family. They wouldn't want them to worry, and would likely prioritise their happiness and complacency over their own.

But Willow doesn't seem like that at all.

But from what I can tell, Willow has been depressed for nearly a decade, (while it could have been longer or shorter, let's say since weiss' tenth birthday). For a woman who should have just passed her prime, she still seems remarkebly clean for someone who, by all accounts, wouldn't have hid her depression.

As far as I can tell, Willow didn't take good care of her children, even if she loved them. That obviously means that while she cared for them, she couldn't help but drown her sorrows out as far as we are concerned. In short, she prioritised herself over them, and isolated herself so she could handle her depression. Not to mention the fact that she's rich, and could thus afford to have ANYTHING she wanted to accomidate herself.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but from what little evidence we have, It's not hard to conclude that Willow didn't neet to, nor did she try, to hide her depression. Since her children and husband are aware of it (and Jacques was pretty open about her in Public a few episodes ago) and the fact that she apparantly rarely makes any public appearances, it's likely that many people are aware (or at least speculate) that Willow Schnee isn't in the right state of mind.

Then again, while a lot more unlikely, it is possible Willow just cleans up nicely for events. Evene if she doesn't actually appear in them.
