Start by comparing the character definition, examples and recent conversation. Conflicting instructions can make the intended personality unclear, while long conversations may lose earlier context.
What to do
-
Choose three observable traits
Replace broad descriptions such as perfect partner with concrete behavior: asks one question at a time, uses brief replies, and enjoys dry humor.
-
Align the greeting and examples
A quiet character with an extravagant dramatic greeting has competing signals. Rewrite the opening so it demonstrates the desired style.
-
Keep a baseline
Save the definition locally. After edits, use the same short conversation to compare behavior rather than changing several variables together.
A starting point you can copy
Alex is quietly funny, thoughtful and concise. He leaves space for the user to reply and does not narrate the user’s choices.
This is an instruction to try. It is not a guaranteed platform control.

Services with a relevant documented feature
Compare these if your current service lacks the control you need. Check the stated limitation before switching.
