I WILL SAY!!! While Sally DOES have a lot of classic tragedy inspiration in her story, she's not an example of the Cassandra Metaphor! She was not shouting for help unheard or unheeded and warning of prophecy! That's not Sally's role and putting that role onto her would imply a lack of power in her circumstances! Sally DID have power, but not the amount of power to change the entire 18th century view on mental health, the mentally ill and the insane asylum/hospital industry of the time. Sally wasn't warning of a prophecy, she WAS the prophecy.
Doe, whereas, is a PERFECT example of the Cassandra Metaphor because her ENTIRE story from beginning to end involves her screaming for help, both literally and metaphorically but going unheard due to the 'curses' in place that made her predictions and assessment of reality seem 'skewed' or 'attention seeking' to the outside world because the entire basis of the culture she lived in made it to where people in her situation and circumstances would NEVER be believed! But Doe was right, Doe was always right. Screaming the prophecy and tragedy of her young life every day when it began to when it ended and for nothing. At least she can T-bag killers in the afterlife though!

you cant say "oh! your character reminds me of this other character! Dont worry its a compliment!" to me because 1.) i will take it for an insult 2.) I Will Drive Myself Nuts In My Enclosure To Make A Wider Divide Btween The Similarities Of These Two Characters If It Fucking Kills Me

babies upon ye
The blue light disappears as fast as it appears, and Michelangelo is only able to register just in time to catch the tiniest turtle. Michelangelo looks up as he recovers form the scare, blinking at the newly deposited children. The purple one skitters off into a corner of the room, staring at him with wary eyes. Best not to approach that one.
With a free hand, he types into the server to ask if anybody had lost four children. For evidence, he takes a photo of the one in his palm with the laptop's camera. He only gets messages upon messages of shock and confusion in return—most of them accusations towards neon!Donnie. So no one in the server is responsible.
Light scratching on his leg alerts him to the biggest of the new babes, looking and gesturing at his palm. The smallest one mews back, reaching out towards the spiky one. Michelangelo gives him the baby, to which he brings to the last one and the three huddle in a pile. So this was a thing that was happening. He's already taking care of four baby turtles. What's four more?
He should introduce them to the others as soon as possible.

getting obsessed with the thought of kidou's interaction with haruna's parents. like the first time they met (after haruna told them about the reason why he wasnt contacting her and clearing his name to them), they both greeted him with a hug and told him that he's family too and he can hang out there whenever he wants. he choked at the unconditional love and attention that he never had from an adult outside of hakamada whom also likes jokingly keeping him at his toes (just to keep him from being understimulated mostly)
and then when given the news that the otonashi family would be having a baby boy (adopted also) and kidou being told by haruna's parents yes of course you're his big brother also. he just about breaks down in tears. he has more family than he has ever imagined in having before :')
