it looks like she barely plays any role in the game at all
Yes, because I made the game first person: the player is playing as the elf, Trinkette.
However, she is the main character that the story revolves around and she's in every story segment - talking to something or someone.
I didn't put many of the story scenes in the screenshots, so I can see how you could get that impression.
It's a story rich game - you slowly get to know her through the story - or as much of her as she is willing to reveal. I was going to make it into a series, where you learn more about her as the series goes on but the game got so little traction I never bothered releasing Episode 2.
