Let's put aside Carrot for a second. What do you think is the most common in One Piece. For a character to have a post on the Sunny, or for a character to have a tragic past ?
A tragic past/tragic backstory is just a tool.
What is important in a tragic backstory are not the fact that it is in the past. It is the fact that it gives to the character a DESIRE and a NEED.
A sad backstory is just a storytelling tools that is used to tell those story because its more easy to place them in the past. Simple as that.
I don't use that as a determination point, I uses that to see who is the CLOSEST in the PRESENT storyline to become a strawhat. Things, like said, can change, and I aknowledge that for Stussy and Bonney. But right now, Carrot is just in the top. But this could change.
I'm open minded, i've already deleted three of those pillar because of a discussion I had with
@Sigran101
But saying me "you stuff is shit, delete it", is immature at best, completely ignorant at worse.
That's what you think, I don't have a Carrot obsession. I'm ok with Carrot not coming back or not joining at all. It's you you have the obsession to see me having one.
If you can do better, go for it.
