One last thing the characters motivational core matters.
Milligan's run is case and point where both used Genosha and the fallout from its destruction to further her story and it worked and also tried to own her pathos by creating replacement traumas like possession and what she saw in space. Once he moved away from her Genosha pathos onto purely his pathos his story with the character entirely fell apart because Lorna's character lost her core motivational driver that actually worked.
What she saw in space, her mother's death, Rockslides death, being possessed for the nth time, and on and on were all stories that on paper could exist alongside Genosha if that part of her history had been respected by those writers, but most of the traumas were created with the clear purpose to be her new and only motivational driver and often they have her massively over react to things that aren't in the league or the same universe to what she experienced on Genosha.
That in turn sets the new trauma up as replacement to it instead of something she builds on as part of her story. Imagine Rockslides death with a few tweaks making it more personal and having Lorna less out of control and breaking down to the degree she did while she has transference from Rockslides death to the the death of the millions of Genoshans so its not so much about this mutant she probably never met personally?
This was what UXM 443 did well with Lorna's very fierce reaction to Synch's death in her debate with Xavier. She was and wasn't responding to his death in that he was having major transference discussing him with the millions of mutants so she was basically treating him as one of the millions who died regardless of the individual circumstances.
Over the the past decade and a half the attempt to festoon new trauma's to Lorna's story over and over again have harmed not enhanced it by how they were handled and what they were meant to do. Austen himself wasn't entirely enthused about what Morrison did with her without telling him, but he realized ways to adapt it to his story while enabling him to go in new directions and tying back into it when he felt it could have been used.
My prospective on Lorna right now in terms of new traumas is no way no how until the one that really should really matter in terms of her views on the idea of a mutant homeland is respected. Marvel can respect Magneto as a Genosha survivor while they can also respect him a survivor of the Holocaust for instance and Magneto unlike Lorna didn't live amongst the bodies for weeks with their memories in her head.
And in happier news art.
