@YuffieProductions- Your welcome and I think the gullibleness was believable. Elena was going through a troubling time in her life and Hero coming in gave her hope. The fact that she suffered almost her whole life and finally found her hope made her gullible. Even in real life this has happened to many people and the fact that she was gullible helped the story to develop. If she wasn't as gullible as she was she wouldn't have returned to Hero or have helped him almost accomplish his plans. If she wasn't as gullible, she might not have found out his true intentions. I'm sure you would have found a way to develop the story without her being gullible, though I think it gave the story a more realistic sense of how cruel people can be and gave the readers something to think about.
