Rethinking Troi

Can we treat Troi from Star Trek better than the writers did?

That's the main question. Troi is by no means a bad character but she didn't have the best start and even after she was developed, not enough time was devoted to her. Char and Tristan explore her character, her backstory, her traits, and see if they can be altered or enhanced with hindsight​ being 20/20.

How would you change the approach to Troi?
