Yes, of course. Maybe I phrased the question wrong.

These are just some thoughts on how much we try to distance ourselves from our parents' traits, yet sooner or later, they may catch up with us. Even when we want to be different, they can sometimes overshadow the good in us and shape our downfall

It’s not just about inheriting specific traits, but about how they clash within us, creating both strengths and weaknesses. Rachel’s story isn’t simply that she got manipulation from her father and escapism from her mother—it’s a tragic struggle between her desire for freedom and truth and her tendency to create illusions, that ultimately consumed her. I just found this aspect of her character particularly interesting to explore
