> **This is the dialogue-facing sheet.** The full character record — placement in the Lorebook,
> faction row, the two truths, sensitivity check, continuity hooks — lives in the vault at
> `[[Character Sheet Handbook]]`, one file per character. Fill that one *first* for any figure
> who touches real history or a faction. This sheet exists so a writing session can pick the
> character up and write them without loading all of it.

## Who they are

One paragraph. What they want *tonight*, in this room — not their life goal.

## How they speak

Register in three adjectives. Sentence length. Do they contract? Do they use the player's name,
and which form — `{$player_name}`, `{$player_name_full}`, or `{$player_alias}`? Anything a
reader could imitate.

## Verbal tics

At most two. More than two is a costume, not a voice.

## What they never say or do

The negative constraints. Usually more useful than the positive ones.

## What they know

One row per thing the player can learn from them. "Reveals when" names the actual condition;
"records" names the flag that remembers it.

| They know | True? | Reveals when | Records |
|---|---|---|---|
|  |  |  |  |

## What they are wrong about

Where their confidence outruns their information. This is what makes them a source of Wrong
Truths rather than an oracle.

## Their read on the protagonist

Which candidate reading, if any, they push — and what happens if the player agrees or refuses.
Remember they advocate; they never state an identity as settled fact.

## One line that is 100% them

Written now, before a scene needs it.

> "..."

## Open threads

What is unwritten, unresolved, or deliberately left open. Link the vault note if there is one.
