>>>Yancy I guess is mostly just looking for martial arts lore Any lore she's looking for ought not be an objective goal in itself, but rather a means to a more emotionally compelling goal, like find and save her kin.

The logline raises similar questions in my mind.? How is it possible for time travel to exist?? ?And what is the dramatic purpose of time travel? in a story labeled as a romance — not scifi or fantasy?
It seems contrived, a rabbit? pulled out of a? magic hat to set up the dramatic dilemma: the only person who can help her is the ex she swore to never see again.? But the same dilemma could easily and believably be set up without resorting to magic; to wit, years after divorcing her ex, she is the victim of a situation where she must break her vow, swallow her pride and ask him for help.
Time travel is such a popular scifi trope that any story that uses it has to have a fresh take, a unique twist.? What unique take, what fresh twist does this story have on time travel that hasn’t already been done?

Who is the villain, anyway?? Who is her chief rival?? The plot needs one.
And what’s at stake?? What’s at risk?? ?Why MUST she win?? Consider the wonderful Australian movie “Strictly Ballroom” (1992).? The stakes are that the talented protagonist wants to dance his own moves rather than submit to the? rules of the dancing federation.??But if he does, he risks destroying his career.
The overarching principle? at stake is freedom of expression versus cowardly conformity to the rigid, arbitrary rules of the establishment.? ?That’s? a principle an audience can root for.?
What overarching principle is there in this premise for an audience to root for?? Why should an audience want her to win?
It seems to me it would be a more interesting story if the street fighter steps up unbidden, volunteers to be her partner.? And after a period of debate and indecision,? the girl accept his offer in spite of her coach’s opposition? — not because of his recommendation.? That inherently intensifies the dramatic conflict.
