An amnesiac warrior woman with a mysterious, magical tattoo that compels her to do things against her will teams up with a band of eccentric comrades on a quest to uncover the secret of her markings.

The tattoo magically compels the protagonist, under certain circumstances, to perform some acts that are dangerous to herself and to others. She goes on a quest to find out who put the tattoo on her, so she can get them to remove the curse. How does this make her "proactive"?

The protagonist should be proactive, the maker and mover of her own decisions and destiny -- not a puppet of some invisible force, the play thing of someone else's decisions.
