I've roleplayed a character a few times in the past that I've very much enjoyed and am now thinking about making a game based around. I happen to like traditional rpgs and I thought I'd shoot for making one (probably simplest idea considering the maker 
). But I've run into two problems (one of which I can probably just ignore).
1) She doesn't deal with money. It just isn't something that is a part of her life. Being a wandering traveler with access to magic, this hasn't really ever been an issue in roleplaying and storytelling, but could be in an rpg. But I can drop using equipment and consumables easily enough, or just hand them out without cost.
2) She often avoids killing others and even looks for ways to defeat an encounter without harm (diplomacy, spells that distract with happiness, etc).
That step two goes pretty counter to how things work in rpgs. However, I know some games have taken steps towards this; Pokemon 'hides' death by making it so you merely knock other pokemon unconscious, and I hear Undertale can be one without killing anyone (no spoilers please).
Does anyone have ideas of how to preserve this? Has anyone had to deal with pacifists joining the main party? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you ahead of time.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
