Enna has depression, and she doesn't make a secret out of it. She somewhat recently started going to theraphy for it. It got a bit better during her elden ring arc, but now that she completed the game she is starting to fall back down again. (souls games helping with depression isn't totally unheared of:
1 2)
She is currently stressed to the point that her period hasn't stopped for weeks. She recently went to the doctors for a full checkup and the results are not really terrible, but also not good.
If you want to know how enna ended up with depression, this is the very short tl;dr version:
- her parents punished her harshly, even at a very young age (pre school) with stuff like kneeling on rice or being locked into a dark room
- her father had to return to japan, leaving her alone with her mother
- her mother has shizophrenia (or something similar), the real thing, not the funny internet kind
- that includes paranoia, like believing that the neighbours want to "replace" them
- that resulted for example in her forcing her to keep the lights of, so she had to do homework with a flashlight
- she had to deal with her mothers episodes every day
- she got bullied at school, some people thought she couldn't talk because she kept so quiet
- her mother stopped caring to a certain degree (like if enna didn't want to go to school like every child once in a while, she would just let her)
- on top of all of that her mother had a gambling addicition to the point that she would gamble the money away she needed for her trip back home
- despite all of this her mother was still together enough to fool doctors enna and other family members took her mother to
- over the years all of this got worse and worse
- around age 16, she made a very difficult decision: she stopped going to school shortly before graduation and moved out
- without her there, nobody was left to keep her mother in check which eventually resulted in her no longer being able to hide her illness and she finally got hospitalized
- enna then had to work multiple shit paying jobs, including retail
- corona hit, things got even more uncertain
- during all of the above, she always had singing as a hobby and got good at it, she used that to apply to niji
- debuts in niji
- niji goes to shit
- you are here
