Have you not determined the sex and/or gender of this NPC, or are you being politically correct unnecesarily?  Or is it the Freak?

Isolation is hard... Perhaps having them suddenly be in a situation where they need to tell someone something, but are unable to speak and/or understand the language spoken to them.

Violence shouldn't be a simple battle, but could be some sort of torture sequence (though it may border on Helplessness, and you may wish to keep each separate).  

Unnatural should be involved with something major.  It really depends on what they've already seen, but give them rooms where the angles of triangles add up to 360 degrees, where any of the most basic physical laws you think of are broken.  Difficult to balance between too little and too much.

Mr. teapot
not a terrible lot of help
