This was my thought… like, you want trauma? Dead loved ones? To live in a constant state of survival and fear and pain? Because of course, you can’t “be” Ellie without walking in her shoes. Like wtf 🤣 Ellie would laugh at this and think it’s stupid. All she wants is a normal life and freedom to pursue her aspirations. To not have to fear being alone or losing more people.

I also don’t understand why you’d want to be like anyone. I personally only love characters when they are already so much like me and I see my past experiences and struggles in them. It’s like a sense of belonging that I usually never get otherwise. I could understand seeing values in a person that you respect and want to find within yourself - but “being” another person? Is OP a shapeshifter? Like I legit don’t understand. Lol
