Also, who doesn’t love an emotionally damaged character that learns to trust people again?
That is PRECISELY why I like this trope so much. Because I am a sucker for emotional shut-down people (ESPECIALLY LADIES) who end up connecting with people.
Sometimes it can be done really well and sometimes it’s handled poorly depending on how the girl is treated within the story.
For an example where it's done very, very well, you should read Queen of Attolia.
