[h3]Who are you?[/h3]
She does not have a set name, so you can pick whichever one you like!
We know first-hand that it's hard to come up with a name out of the blue, that's why we included a list of lore-friendly pre-generated names. Click on the button next to the name field to cycle through them!

[list]
[*] [i]Sanguine [/i]answers are usually happy and carefree;
[*] [i]Phlegmatic [/i]responses are thoughtful, but tend towards inaction;
[*] [i]Melancholic [/i]answers are driven by fear;
[*] [i]Choleric [/i]responses are curt and sarcastic;[/list]
As the decisions you make shape the dominant personality of the main character, she will behave accordingly in certain scenes!
