Personas

By default, your character doesn't know who you are. They learn about you through conversation, the same way you'd learn about someone you just met.

A persona lets you skip that discovery phase by telling the character who you are up front.

What a persona looks like

When to use a persona

• You want an established relationship (childhood friends, coworkers, partners).
• You want to skip the discovery phase.
• You need specific context for the conversation to make sense.

When to leave it blank

• When you want the natural experience. The discovery — watching a character go from polite stranger to genuine friend — is one of Wollo's strengths.
• When you want to be surprised. Sometimes letting the character invent their own assumptions about you is the most interesting part.
