Your argument is based on the idea that this new account is actually a new player. That is not the case.
This new "character," if it can even be called that, is simply another alternate for an established player. There will be no "deciding;" all the choices a new character would normally make were settled on long before this account was created.
Your argument would make sense if this had been the actual child of two people. However, this is little more than yet another example of the extremely poor quality of role playing that has permeated MagicDuel. A character conceives a "child," but the player portrays this “child” as being nearly identical to the character who is supposed to be the parent.
The tradition of starting "children alternates," used by the same players who are supposed to be the parents, was a trend I had hoped to see the demise of, yet this is just more ammunition to be used by those who believe that role playing has no place in this game.
If this is what role playing is turning into, and it pains me to say this, then they are correct.

Yes, Dariea is an alternate. However, she will be an character unto herself and will be not portrayed as the main player. Falen Angel is also my alternate character and at no time does she act like an extension of Sagewoman. Dariea is not a citizen of Loreroot nor will she be of any other land for that matter. The Dariea account has yet to interact with anyone else save my own self role play with her as an infant. That is coming to an abrupt halt as of now. The mp3 account will begin to play and develop on it's own. Battling it's own fights and collecting it's own friends and followings. Don't like it? Battle or walk away. There is always a choice.
