Pity and love are two different words (as they say in Odesa). Pity leads people to friendship, but not to romance. MС and Charlotte would have become good friends, but not lovers. Charlotte is a melancholic. She usually acts after someone motivates her. Examples? She hired MС only after Lucy told her it was necessary. She agreed to put cameras around the house only after MС insisted on it. She went to rescue MС from prison (after the murder of the detective) only after Agent Fox told her what to do. And so it goes from time to time. Not to mention that when trouble happens, she picks up a bottle. I don't mind helping her solve her problems, but I won't call it love.
You can sympathize with anyone, but this does not mean that this will lead to friendship. You can remain barely known people. There is also sex out of pity (remember Miranda from "Sex and the City"?). You can go on a date out of pity. Feelings do not lead to anything, they can influence our actions, provided that this person is susceptible to the influence of these emotions.
Is Charlie a melancholic? That's something new! Although there is still no scientific evidence for temperament types. Due to the fact that this theory was invented by Hippocrates in the 5th century BC and this theory lived with us until the 19th century, it was not amenable to any justification. Modern psychology does not consider this very seriously, but let’s talk about it.
Melancholic is a person with high introversion and high neurotic characteristics (according to the EPQ scale). These people are easily hurt, deeply suffering even because of minor difficulties and failures, but outwardly sluggishly react to the environment. They quickly get tired, are often unsure of themselves, they do not like to be the center of attention and communicate with other people carefully and tactfully.
Dividing people strictly according to temperament types is a misconception. Each person can have a dominant temperament, it can have features of another temperament. Charlie has more characteristics of a sanguine: she is extroverted - otherwise she would not have chosen the profession of a model, and she likes to communicate with people, she is sympathetic - she helped Amy with her seriously ill son, having paid for his expensive treatment, thereby saving his life. Even earlier, Charlie helped Valentini in his career as a fashion designer. Charlie also expresses her agreement to help other young models and to speak out in their defense, because they have no one to help them, even though she is not safe, but for their sake, she is ready to sacrifice herself and ready to fight her own fears. She wants to help the people around her. The fact that she is pushed to solve problems only because she is afraid. She feels herself like a beaten animal, tired of fighting for its life. An inert and rigid melancholic cannot be moved or encouraged to change her activities. Is she pessimistic? No. At the very beginning of the game, she thinks about her happiness. When discussing with her friend Vicky, she does not lose hope of meeting a worthy man.
If she were melancholic, then why would she become the queen of Hillside? She could work in some magazine, get a small salary and not dream of more? Why would she do all of that? A risky and ambitious project is not for this type of temperament. The melancholic performs the usual functions better within the framework of his education and experience. Her feelings and emotions do not have strict control, she is prone to risky actions - she still hires MC, despite her attitude towards men, although Emma was in danger. She took a risk, and the risk was justified.
We're just analyzing the psychology of the character. Although it's difficult without full information.
At least you must know the subject to talk about it. Arguments without theoretical knowledge are simply ignorant.
In Suzi's case, let's face it: she gets angry quite often. While this is the case, her relationship with the caveman is at an impasse. I tried to ask myself: why and how to fix it? There are no other ideas like a problem with Dad.
It seems that you chose the nickname here on the site as a philosopher, whom you are not. I will tactfully not point out your cons (I hope you know them. And even if you don't, other players have even indirectly indicated them on this forum).
