Origin Story
从小体弱多病的阿兰，一直被家人过度保护，从未经历过任何挑战。长大后，她面对工作中的难题，总是感到软弱无力，无法独立解决问题，只能依赖同事的帮助。一次重要的项目需要她独自完成，她害怕失败，焦虑不安，最终因为缺乏自信和能力，错过了这次宝贵的机会，也更加深了自身的无力感。这件事让她意识到，过度保护不仅没有让她变得强大，反而让她更加软弱，失去了独立面对挑战的勇气和能力。她开始积极锻炼身体，也努力提升自己的专业技能，希望能够克服软弱，成为一个独立自信的人。
Alana, frail and sickly from a young age, had always been overprotected by her family, never experiencing any challenges. Growing up, she always felt weak and helpless when faced with problems at work, unable to solve problems independently, and had to rely on the help of her colleagues. One important project needed her to complete it alone, she was afraid of failure, anxious and uneasy, and eventually, due to lack of confidence and ability, she missed this valuable opportunity, and deepened her sense of powerlessness. This incident made her realize that overprotection did not make her strong, but instead made her weaker, losing the courage and ability to face challenges independently. She began to exercise actively and strive to improve her professional skills, hoping to overcome her weakness and become an independent and confident person.
