It's certainly saying something when just about all of your characters can be seen in quite a few different ways in terms of motivations and reasoning behind their personalities.
- Is Ace actually a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who just will need a lot of help in showing a better side to people, or is he actually truly a Jerkass who pushes people away due to a lack of trust in them?
- Is Alia a kindhearted but ultimately flawed girl going through a phase who is trying her hardest to improve, or is she just a spoiled brat who's unappreciative of her parents enough to constantly push them away?
- Was Benson's personality truly all an act during FMTDI, or is he actually a Jerkass and was just trying to gain some of his teammates' pity at his elimination?
- Is Brooke a socially awkward but well-meaning girl with a Hidden Heart of Gold, or is she just a sarcastic Jerkass who mostly looks down on others despite not being particularly remarkable herself?
- Is Chad actually an idiot, or is he just naive and actually capable of potentially high levels of intelligence and emotional stability?
- Does Cynthia truly act like such a perfectionist who demands victory in order to live up to the very things her father has always raised her to do, or is it actually a result of her growing frustrations of not being as good of a leader or competitor as she'd like? Or is it both?
- Are Doc's trollish tendencies and lack of maturity a result of his personality, or is it just a coping mechanism of his to push people away due to being so used to being alone, or a third option, is he just so emotionally broken by the fact he has lived most of his life in solitude that he doesn't know how to actually talk to people?
- Is Mimi a hypocritical loner who just wants to spend her time alone due to believing herself to not be good enough to deserve friends, or is she a sympathetic and hopelessly depressed girl who has been pushed away and put through emotional hell all her life?
- Is Quincy actually completely unaware of how poorly his mother and others treat him, or is he completely aware and is just ignoring it as a type of unhealthy coping mechanism?
- Is Tempest's point of view on the world a result of Roy guiding her into believing such things on her own, or is it just her little way of ignoring how broken her life is and that living in a world of fantasy is far better than reality?
- Is Zetsu's complete lack of confidence a result of his abusive father constantly pushing him to be more than he is, or is it a result of a lack of respect and horrible treatment by some of his coworkers?
