A subconscious role she puts herself in, it's a way to ground herself and feed herself peace. If any of them had a nightmare, Rhyme would comfort them, and she didn't take any midnight visitors warmly. The lawless Heartslabyul was probably rough for her.

Although she does have a gap in mental maturity for her ages (as she remembers herself even in her beginning age), the gap is not entirely large or conspicuous until the very end. The Looking Glass takes bits of her memories, and additionally her personal growth is stunted by her own self; clinging to roles and hazardly continuing cycles caused by a refusal to let go of the past or attempt to release herself from others as she is frightened.

That being said, Rhyme will fight with all her might when she has to.

The sky is infinite, and with infinite comes the unknowable, and although we want to know, we understand we can't know everything. Rhyme always wants the truth, but realizes some doors are best left unopened, and you move on, but you are never left without something 🌅

She would enjoy going through Leona's baby pictures, especially since we know his Mother likes getting pictures of him and decorating them around. Their home would also be filled with photos.

It's because Rhyme went through so much trouble and heartache for others, she simply wants the people she loves to understand how much they are to her... she wants to be wanted like that too.

Although her uncle did care for Rhyme, he was far beyond loving in a normal sense. He caused just as much harm to her as the ones he despises, but he acknowledges it. He's an example of being aware of the harm and abusive cycles one perpetuates but unable to stop them, even still continuing these "bad habits."
