Only people she has personally decided are worth the cost (which is the overwhelming majority of people). Otherwise, with the handful she really loves, Gossamer is Jim Kirk during the Kobayashi Maru: she doesn’t believe in a no-win scenario, and she will change the conditions of the test. The Lucky feat was a fun end-of-campaign narrative reward that made me !!! for her gambit involving Lolth and Graz’zt because she, on a related note, simply refused to leave her kind of awful maternal figure to a fate worse than death.

Punishingly. It’s rotten work, and she will fear and resent and fend off every genuine effort because there’s nothing good or worth knowing. A demon once told her she was a lot like him, and she’s never quite overcome the sense that he was right.

Gossamer’s heart is as much a mystery to her as it is to anyone else. Sure, she has a fair enough sense of who she is because she was groomed, all her life, to be that, and being who she was taught to be is a lot simpler than deciphering who she wants to become. She has no real grasp on her own wants beyond fleeting impulses because she wasn’t ever meant to have any that mattered. For that matter, she doesn’t trust the things she desires — look where she is, where the wanting led her the one time she followed it!
No. Her heart, as far as she’s concerned, is a dead thing, the contents of which are ultimately none of her concern. Everyone is better off if it stays buried.
