Line 43:
== Recette is a [[Stepford Smiler]]. ==
Her father's gone, perhaps dead, leaving her in a ton of debt. Initially, she ''is'' optimistic, but after seeing the dungeons, the monsters, and the [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|customers]], she grows more and more cynical -- but she's [[Obfuscating Stupidity|obfuscating optimism]] for Tear, because she believes that if she accidentally insults the loan shark by showing what she really thinks of things, the help might stop coming.
* I agree, but working back the other way. Recette starts the game inwardly depressed - she mentions she hated living alone, and with 1000 pix in the bank (which is maybe 5 piece of food), she was a stone's throw from begging. Tear showing up with the item shop idea was a lifeline (since she would have been on the streets in any case), and as she starts making bunches of friends and earning a living through the shop, she becomes as happy inwardly as she always seemed. This is also why she's so fiercely defensive of Tear's motives - even if she is just profiteering on behalf of the debt collectors, she still turned Recette's life around.
** Despite it being played for laughs; don't forget that Recette basically abandoned her father to his possible death in the Lapis Ruins. She has no intention of letting him screw this up for her. (Especially cold when we hear him commenting on how he's trying to win Recette's love and respect back. What did he ''do?'')
