It's a common experience to have characters that move beyond your original concept. Same for life.
I've had characters that were designed to be poor end up well-to-do, characters that started out pious commit all sorts of deeds that violated their religion's philosophy (of course, the point was that they were able to "justify" in their own mind their acts, much like religious hypocrites today), and characters that ended up in places and lifestyles that they despised when they started. All of these were, to note, the natural progression of the character and not a case of me violating the character concept so much as their inability to fight circumstance. Just like life.
Unfortunately.
Take care,
Jason
