Personality Traits

A personality trait in ClanGen is a single-word trait that dictates how a cat may behave in some circumstances. Personality traits open the door for writers of ClanGen to add more varied thoughts, events, and patrols. A nervous or bloodthirsty cat might be more likely to have an interaction with a Clanmate that skews negatively, while a loving or wise cat might skew more positively. That's not an end-all-be-all, though, and traits are expected to show both negative and positive qualities in their interactions. A majority of ClanGen thoughts, events, and patrols are not trait-constrained, and any cat can experience them.

Pop-culture references may not be 100% accurate, but serve as a basic guideline. The descriptor sentences beneath each trait as well as the facets (read below) are more accurate to the traits. If you have any questions, ask the team.
