#started out as a vent post about mischaracterization and now we're here at '...goddammit she's channeling the Great Gatsby but sci-fi'

Your girl is a canon high school drop-out trailer trash 'sucker for love' who's tendency to make life decisions based on her dating interests has backfired and paid off to different degrees of 'live ruining' for both her and her various exes. At no point would it be realistic for anyone in her community to have considered her the Best And Most Talented And The Only Person Who Ever Had Any Potential, let alone all of them. Her success story is that of an underdog - and one that in canon is achieved by falling into wealth almost by accident and then erasing everything that she used to be to become someone else. She lives in a mansion now, nobody in her new community knows where she came from or what her background is, she reconfigures everything about herself from her fashion to the very way she talks, and yet, she's still stuck on the one that got away, and is willing to potentially destroy everything she has to get him back. ...Rose Tyler is Jay Gatsby.
