Thanks! That's something I hadn't really thought of in those words, but it's so dead on. It's like...finding the balance between being open enough to manage CR (because what's the point of being here if you just play for yourself?) and adhere to her canon and where she's at/where I brought her in. And while at the same time, I know she's just 85% not good to have a pleasant conversation with and is still pretty dismissive, that's something I do and have always planned to develop in time. And I haven't been here quite long enough to witness Cain's evolution but that's a helpful analogy and I'll keep it in my thoughts!
