—A thread of characters I kin who likely have BPD—

Sakura Haruno
-she developed it from trauma due to her bullying at school and insecurities, after she’d had a sheltered early childhood
-projects onto sasuke, he’s like her FP to the max !! She needs his validation so desperately too
-INNER SAKURA! It doesn’t get more on the nose

Cloud Strife
-big trauma bc of his fucked up soldier days
-his sense of identity is almost nonexistent bc of his past. He doesn’t begin to become himself again til the end of ff7
-he was so insecure as a kid AND TIFA IS HIS FP. he used to act narcissistic to cope w insecurity

Tamaki amajiki
-miirio FP like, glaringly so. He chose his hero name after the boy he always admired that he called the sun. GAY
-he struggles w intense insecurity and anxiety onscreen. He won’t accept anyone’s praise ever
-he seems very caring despite how closed off he can be

Karin Uzumaki
-she is an orochimaru rescue so she’s VERY TRAUMATIZED
-another Sasuke FP girl but it’s more lust based lol
-the way she reacted after sasuke betrayed her.. like she was distraught on one hand but feigned insanity for the Konoha soldiers. She’s wild idk, BPD Queen

Faye Valentine
-her whole plot arc is her trying to uncover a past identity that she’s disconnected from in a traumatic way . F
-she’s impulsive and highly emotional, she def has manic episodes lol
-attachment seems important but triggering to her. she suppresses her need for it
