Kidnapped at age 11, kept out of reach from the world for 14 years, Ruth finds herself completely broken and confused upon her liberation from captivity. Her previous optimism and curiosity is lost as she realizes that the real world has no room for that kind of naivete. She closes herself off, and becomes more irritable and introverted over time, and less sensitive. Ruth is determined to never let anyone hurt her again, even if that means hurting those around her. What started as the lifetime of a young girl with a smile that brought joy to the broken ends with a chaotic shell of what used to be a beautiful person. As the old cliche goes, you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
