Tradition Breaker

The heroine also has a knack for changing cultural norms. Quite often through her journey within the labyrinth, she encounters rules or cultural barriers with which she disagrees. She is willing to challenge traditions, cross territorial boundaries, or disobey accepted authorities. Her voice strongly challenges gender roles and social norms, two aspects she views as oppressive.

Now that the heroine has gained the secret knowledge of the three chambers, she confronts a rule or tradition that she must break. She will risk a non-traditional approach to solving a problem or perhaps even allying herself with the stigmatized others. This independent action puts the heroine at risk of a serious and open violation of the culture truce.
