história de fundo significativa


Explanation:
Achei boa a definição de Paula para flesh out, mas acho que neste caso "enredo" não é adequado; deste modo seria "plot". Achei a seguinte definição para back story:

back story : events that took place in the life of a character before commencement of a fictional story; background (used metaphorically)

Minhas sugestões seriam:

"história de fundo significativa", ou

"rica história de fundo"

Espero ter ajudado.
