Being a hero or villain is irrelevant to The Lost Lenore. What matters is that the dead character was important to them, like a Love Interest or The Not-Love Interest, and remains a central influence on the living character long after their death.

Excessive Mourning is a common overlap when they refuse to move on and simply wallow in grief.
