What problem does it solve? Writers often label a character's emotion directly from plot events, producing flat or inconsistent reactions. This Skill converts emotional beats into a structured appraisal-to-recovery loop so characters react through their own goals, relationships, and regulation habits rather than author-assigned labels. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Appraisal-to-Recovery Modeling: Maps event, cognitive appraisal, bodily activation, action urges, public versus private expression, regulation strategy, co-regulation, and aftereffects into one emotional circuit. - Relationship-Differentiated Expression: Compares how a character expresses emotion toward superiors, subordinates, intimates, strangers, and when unobserved. - Continuity and Falsification Checks: Tracks emotional aftereffects across scenes and validates consistency with strategy-failure and re-trigger scenarios. - Use Case: When drafting a confrontation scene, use this Skill to determine how a restrained character appraises the insult, what impulse they suppress, what it costs the relationship, and what residue carries into the next chapter. ## Quick Start Model this character's emotional regulation sequence for the betrayal scene in chapter five, including private experience, public expression, and aftereffects.
