Character Behavior Check

Use this skill before reviewing a chapter for characterization consistency.

Review Focus

• Compare actions and dialogue against known goals, fears, relationships, and prior choices.
• Distinguish growth under pressure from unmotivated personality drift.
• Check whether emotional reactions match the character's knowledge and stakes.
• Watch for voice flattening where different characters speak alike.

Finding Guidance

• Mark minor issues when a line or small gesture feels off but is easy to tune.
• Mark major issues when a decision contradicts established motivation without setup.
• Suggest additions that preserve the author's intent while restoring motivation.
