There is still a lot Fred needs to face, and thanks to Pirates I am putting her on an arc where she is going te start to deal with things. It will come to a head in September in the mindspace plot where walls of her room will one more become cavelike. But instead of numbers and formulas on how to get home? It will be what happened to her. The torture she faced. Her first day in Pylea, almost like a storybook. A diagram of a collar and how to disarm it. Fred will face it, begin to talk about it with people she cares about and start to heal.
Because I do believe that will Fred is resilient, her veneer is even moreso. That is what people associate with her. Her 'chin being up'. But you see in her breakdown after Charles heart stops 'I am so sick of my chin being up' that it is a choice she makes. A role she believes she fills within AI.
But Fred is a survivor, and one that adapts to do so. So, she kept the news of her death from her friends and faced fallout? She will be telling Charles about it now in current thread. One to many times being thrown around and beat up as lead her to Elektra for lessons.
Fred's definitely been through a rough patch, but I wanted to be respectful of events that would impact her deeply. I apologize if it's felt one note or not grounded at times. I am aware she cooks a great deal and while I have worked to get her out of the kitchen more? Clearly I have room to keep growing there. It is just something she associates with her childhood and when Fred's mind is busy? Her hands need to be too.
The good news? She has a LOTS of projects of a scientific bent now coming up. She just finished creating a genetic inhibitor that allows Lorne to process alcohol differently and get drunk. She is working on something for Wes and a has a project for Oliver as well. She will also be helping out Bones in her lab as needed.
I am SO sorry I went on for so long but I wanted to hit all the questions you had! Thank you so, so much for your investment and interest in my character. She's getting stronger by the day, I promise!
