Character Perception Evolution states Rescued from the Scrappy Heap examples don't count as RFTSH is when the work changes them for the better while CPE is viewed differently by fans despite being unchanged. I question this CPE then.
I believe this might be misuse as instead Rescued from the Scrappy Heap as it's changes to her in the same series (the Pilot Movie is treated as part of it as opposed to a standalone/separate work) as opposed to how she's seen prior (my impression is her pre-Rescued character is now seen as worth the later payoff as opposed to good in and of itself). On that there's this from YMMV.Mass Effect 1.
I believe this is Character Perception Evolution instead as it's not the work changing them. But a big part of this was Kaiden being Rescued from the Scrappy Heap in the third game contributing to the reevaluation. I assume this is a separate enough work to fit CPE as opposed to RFTSC but an asking to be sure.
