Well, there are just as many tropes in fiction where people who had a lot of trauma become villains.

Yep, and unlike OP, I don't mind the "angelic trauma survivor" character type (actually, thinking about it, I love a lot of characters who are like that) but like OP, the "villain because of trauma" one worries me on a personal level because it makes me think I would definitely be evil if I'd had more trauma in my life. Which means I'm actually still evil because I have the potential should I experience trauma in the future.

AYRT. I don't know that this is something to really stress out about if you're self-aware, and it sounds like you are. So if you experienced more trauma, you'd probably be likely to seek help.

Being evil or kind is also down to choice. Character types in fiction are shorthand for how a writer *thinks* people react to things.

So like, if I flunk out of art school, I know I'm not going to become an evil dictator. I'll just be sad about it.
