I'm looking for a trope where a character dying and resurrecting undoes any Character Development and essentially resets their personality.
It shows up in the Wreck-it Ralph fanfic Filling in the Empty Spots
where Vanellope is killed in a racing accident. Despite saying outside her game she does regenerate, but the but the process essentially performed a personality factory reset on her that erased her memories of the other characters and her Character Development from her rejection at the others' hands.
