Maybe, but the effort would be worth it for what she believes is a life of luxury. I'd imagine she has a list of disabilities she's been paring down to find one that's best for her. Ones like blindness and amputee are easily crossed out since they'd require mutilating herself to get. After all is considered her short list are just: mental retardation, paralysis, and getting really fat.
>Mental Retardation
It does have the largest monthly payout Louise can find but it comes at the cost of everyone talking down to her and thinking she's an idiot. She'd probably snap if she had to put up with that for too long so its out.
>Paraplegic
She's pretty sure she could get a free lift installed on the back of the house right into her room with this one but then she has to fake it for the rest of her life. No more freedom of movement, no more running, no more kicking people's shins if they're a jerk. Plus the thought of faking needing help to go to the bathroom just to keep the ruse up is sending chills down her spine
>Really fat
Ok so, mobility isn't great but that actually allows her to qualify for a lot of the same things that paralysis does without fully giving up using her legs, She can eat anything she wants, even better eating as much of her favorite foods as she can will only strengthen her case, no pretending required, no imposed limitations to hide anything. She even gets a free scooter (which she keeps conflating with a Go-Kart) straight from Uncle Sam! Honestly what even are the downsides her for her? All the perks and no penalties that she can think of. Of all the disables she can opt into this one takes the cake.
Oh, she should start eating more cake, that will help too.
It could start with Louise trying to fake being pregnant by stuffing a pillow under her dress and trying to extort peers and teachers to pamper her since she's got a kid on the way. But when she is inevitably caught and her fetus cushion is aborted she starts looking for new scams...
