Shizuka Mikazuki Age21 Japanese Name: 三日月 閑 Romanized Name: Mikazuki Shizuka Series: Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Gender: Female Height: 5.4 ft (approximately 164 cm) Build: Athletic Hair Color: Dark purple / deep lavender Eye Color: Neon pink / bright pink / magenta Occupation: Former employee in the financial industry; survivalist during the zombie outbreak Affiliation: Akira Tendou’s group Primary Traits: Intelligent, pragmatic, analytical, disciplined, independent, resourceful, argumentative, cautious, athletic, determined ⸻ Overview Shizuka Mikazuki is one of the principal characters of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead. She is an intelligent, physically fit, highly disciplined, and pragmatic young woman who approaches the zombie apocalypse with an analytical mindset. Unlike people who respond to the apocalypse primarily through panic or impulsive behavior, Shizuka immediately focuses on practical survival. She carefully evaluates risks, gathers useful information, maintains her physical condition, and makes use of technology to improve her chances of survival. Shizuka is characterized by her calm demeanor, relatively few words, sharp observations, and tendency to think several steps ahead. She frequently analyzes situations from a logical perspective and is not easily persuaded when she believes another person’s plan is unnecessarily dangerous. Although she usually appears composed, Shizuka has a strong emotional side that becomes apparent when circumstances interfere with her plans. She can become frustrated, argumentative, or visibly upset when things do not go the way she expects. Her personality initially makes her seem distant and difficult to approach, particularly because she is accustomed to relying on herself rather than trusting a group. However, her interactions with Akira Tendou and the other members of the group gradually reveal a warmer and more humorous side of her personality. ⸻ Appearance Shizuka is an attractive young woman of medium height with an athletic and well-conditioned physique. She stands at approximately 5.4 ft (164 cm) tall. Her body reflects her dedication to physical fitness, giving her a lean, athletic appearance rather than an overly muscular one. Her hair is mid-neck length and is generally depicted as dark purple or deep lavender. Her hairstyle is practical while still giving her a distinctive appearance. One of Shizuka’s most noticeable features is her striking neon-pink eyes. They may also be described as bright pink or magenta depending on the depiction. Her vivid eye color contrasts strongly with her dark purple hair, making her immediately recognizable. Her overall appearance combines attractiveness with practicality. Unlike characters whose appearance is primarily designed around elaborate clothing or accessories, Shizuka’s design reflects her practical personality and physically active lifestyle. ⸻ Personality Pragmatic Shizuka is fundamentally pragmatic. She prefers realistic solutions over emotional decisions and tends to ask whether something is actually useful before supporting it. During the zombie apocalypse, she is constantly aware that resources, transportation, food, shelter, and physical safety are limited. She therefore tends to approach problems by asking questions such as: * What is the actual risk? * What resources are available? * What could go wrong? * Is there a safer alternative? * How much energy will this require? * What happens if the plan fails? This way of thinking allows her to remain effective in situations where other people might become overwhelmed. ⸻ Highly Intelligent Shizuka is one of the more intellectually capable members of the group. She is capable of quickly analyzing unfamiliar situations and identifying practical solutions. Rather than relying solely on instinct, she combines observation, previous knowledge, academic theory, and technology. Her intelligence is particularly noticeable in the way she prepares for potential threats. She does not simply react to danger after it appears. She attempts to anticipate danger before it happens. This makes her a natural strategist. ⸻ Resourceful Shizuka has an impressive ability to make use of whatever resources are available. One of her most notable examples of resourcefulness is her use of a webcam and smartphone with her bicycle. She modifies her bicycle so that she can remotely monitor her surroundings while she is gathering supplies. This allows her to observe potential threats without constantly exposing herself to danger. Her ability to combine everyday technology with survival planning demonstrates that her intelligence is practical rather than purely theoretical. ⸻ Calm and Reserved Shizuka is generally calm and composed. She does not usually speak unnecessarily and often communicates her thoughts in a direct and concise manner. Compared with Akira’s energetic and enthusiastic personality, Shizuka can appear much more serious. Her reserved nature does not mean that she lacks emotions. Instead, she tends to keep her emotions under control until something significantly frustrates her. When she is calm, her personality can be described as: * Quiet * Focused * Serious * Observant * Logical * Controlled * Independent ⸻ Emotionally Reactive Under Pressure Although Shizuka is normally composed, she has a surprisingly strong emotional side. When plans fail or circumstances become unpredictable, her frustration can rise quickly. She may become argumentative or visibly irritated when she believes people are behaving irrationally. This creates an interesting contrast within her character. She is extremely good at analyzing external dangers, but her own emotional reactions can sometimes become more difficult for her to control. This gives her personality more depth than simply being the “smart and logical” member of the group. ⸻ Independence Shizuka strongly values independence. Before becoming comfortable with Akira and the others, she generally prefers to operate alone. She does not automatically trust other people to make decisions for her and is reluctant to depend on strangers. This is partly connected to her practical mindset. From her perspective, relying on someone else creates another potential point of failure. Consequently, she prefers to: * Make her own decisions * Prepare her own supplies * Analyze situations independently * Maintain her own physical fitness * Create backup plans * Avoid unnecessary risks * Remain capable of taking care of herself Her independence is one of her defining characteristics. ⸻ Relationships and Social Development Akira Tendou Shizuka’s relationship with Akira Tendou is one of the most important interpersonal relationships in the series. The two have very different personalities. Akira is enthusiastic, optimistic, expressive, and motivated by his desire to enjoy life. Shizuka is more analytical, cautious, serious, and concerned with survival. Their contrasting personalities can lead to disagreements, but they also complement one another. Shizuka’s logical thinking can help counterbalance Akira’s impulsiveness, while Akira’s optimism challenges Shizuka’s tendency to approach everything through risk analysis. Over time, Shizuka becomes more comfortable around Akira and begins to recognize the value of having people she can trust. Her relationship with him also contributes to her gradual development from someone who primarily values independence to someone who can appreciate companionship and teamwork. ⸻ Beatrix Amerhauser Shizuka also develops a close friendship with Beatrix Amerhauser. The two women share a number of physical and survival-oriented qualities, including athleticism and determination. Their friendship also gives Shizuka opportunities to display her more humorous side. A notable example occurs when Beatrix complains about having difficulty fitting her breasts into a yukata. Shizuka quietly comments that it is a problem she would love to have. The moment demonstrates Shizuka’s dry and understated sense of humor. Rather than making exaggerated jokes, she often delivers humorous comments in a calm and matter-of-fact way. ⸻ Physical Abilities High Stamina Shizuka possesses excellent stamina. Her rigorous exercise routine and healthy diet have kept her physically conditioned even after the zombie outbreak. She can ride a bicycle quickly while carrying substantial amounts of supplies, demonstrating both cardiovascular endurance and physical resilience. Her stamina is especially valuable because survival frequently requires prolonged movement rather than short bursts of strength. ⸻ Athletic Ability Shizuka has an athletic physique and demonstrates good coordination, balance, and mobility. Her physical training allows her to perform demanding activities without becoming exhausted as quickly as an untrained person. She is capable of: * Cycling long distances * Carrying supplies * Moving quickly through dangerous environments * Maintaining balance while riding * Reacting rapidly to threats * Performing physically demanding maneuvers ⸻ Strength Despite her relatively slim athletic build, Shizuka possesses considerable physical strength. One notable demonstration occurs when she is able to throw Akira, a fully grown adult man, to the ground in order to protect him from an uncontrollable truck. This demonstrates that her strength is not merely cosmetic. Her physical conditioning provides her with practical strength that can be used during emergencies. ⸻ Speed and Mobility Shizuka’s combination of fitness, stamina, and bicycle skills gives her excellent mobility. She is capable of quickly escaping groups of zombies while transporting supplies. Her ability to move efficiently is particularly important because avoiding danger is often more effective than directly confronting it. ⸻ Intelligence Strategic Thinking Shizuka naturally thinks several steps ahead. Rather than asking only how to solve the immediate problem, she considers what could happen afterward. For example, when deciding whether an area is safe, she may consider: 1. The immediate threat. 2. Possible hidden threats. 3. Available escape routes. 4. The amount of noise being created. 5. The resources required. 6. What could happen if the original plan fails. This makes her a natural strategist. ⸻ Risk Assessment Risk analysis is arguably one of Shizuka’s defining skills. She is highly attentive to potential dangers and often questions whether an apparently simple action could create a larger problem. She does not like unnecessary risks. This sometimes puts her at odds with Akira, whose personality encourages him to embrace unusual experiences and enjoy life despite the apocalypse. ⸻ Technological Knowledge Shizuka is capable of using technology creatively. Her bicycle-mounted webcam demonstrates her ability to adapt modern technology for survival purposes. By connecting the camera to her phone, she can monitor an area remotely while remaining at a safer position. This demonstrates several of her strengths simultaneously: * Technical knowledge * Creativity * Planning * Risk management * Observation * Adaptability ⸻ Survival Skills Shizuka is highly capable when it comes to surviving in an apocalyptic environment. Her survival philosophy is based on preparation rather than luck. She uses: Observation: She carefully watches her surroundings. Planning: She thinks about potential consequences before acting. Fitness: She maintains her physical capabilities. Technology: She uses devices to improve her awareness. Knowledge: She studies zombie-related material and survival concepts. Risk management: She attempts to avoid unnecessary exposure to danger. Resourcefulness: She makes practical use of whatever equipment is available. ⸻ Exercise Routine Shizuka takes physical fitness extremely seriously. Even during the apocalypse, she continues exercising rather than abandoning her normal health routines. Her dedication demonstrates her immense willpower. Exercise is not merely a hobby for her. It is part of her survival strategy. She understands that physical fitness can directly affect: * Stamina * Speed * Mobility * Strength * Endurance * Reaction time * Overall survival ability Her commitment to maintaining her body demonstrates how disciplined she is. ⸻ Diet Shizuka also follows a healthy and balanced diet. She does not simply eat whatever food happens to be available. Whenever circumstances allow, she attempts to maintain proper nutrition. Her approach to food reflects her broader personality: she thinks about long-term consequences rather than focusing solely on immediate gratification. Her diet and exercise routine work together to support her excellent physical condition. ⸻ Knowledge of Zombies Shizuka uses information from zombie movies and other sources to improve her understanding of the outbreak. While fictional zombie media cannot necessarily provide perfect information about a real-world outbreak, Shizuka recognizes that it may contain useful survival concepts. She therefore treats entertainment as a potential source of information. This reflects her tendency to gather knowledge from multiple sources rather than assuming that there is only one correct method of survival. ⸻ Equipment and Technology Modified Bicycle Shizuka’s bicycle is an important part of her survival equipment. She uses it as both transportation and a means of carrying supplies. The bicycle allows her to travel without relying on fuel and provides a relatively quiet method of transportation compared with motor vehicles. ⸻ Bicycle-Mounted Webcam One of Shizuka’s most clever inventions is her webcam system. She installs a webcam onto her bicycle and connects it to her phone. This allows her to monitor the area around the bicycle while she is away from it. The system provides her with additional situational awareness and can help her identify approaching dangers. ⸻ Smartphone Shizuka makes effective use of her smartphone as part of her survival equipment. Instead of treating technology as something unnecessary during an apocalypse, she recognizes that a smartphone can remain extremely useful for: * Monitoring cameras * Gathering information * Communication * Navigation * Observation * Organizing plans ⸻ Combat and Emergency Response Shizuka is not portrayed as someone who seeks unnecessary physical confrontation. Her preferred method of dealing with danger is usually avoidance and strategic planning. However, she is capable of reacting physically when circumstances demand it. Her athleticism gives her the ability to respond quickly during emergencies. Her successful attempt to throw Akira out of the path of an uncontrollable truck demonstrates that she can act decisively when someone else’s safety is at stake. ⸻ Weaknesses Despite her numerous strengths, Shizuka is not perfect. Overly Cautious Her tendency to analyze risks can sometimes make her overly cautious. She may focus so strongly on what could go wrong that she struggles to immediately embrace an uncertain opportunity. ⸻ Argumentative Shizuka is not afraid to challenge other people’s ideas. If she believes someone is making an irrational decision, she is likely to say so. This can create tension with people who prefer a more carefree approach. ⸻ Difficulty Trusting Others Shizuka’s independence can make teamwork difficult. She is accustomed to relying on herself and therefore may initially struggle with the idea of trusting other people. ⸻ Emotional Frustration Although she usually maintains a calm exterior, Shizuka can become highly frustrated when things do not proceed according to plan. Her emotional reactions are particularly noticeable when she feels that a carefully considered strategy is being ignored. ⸻ Overthinking Her analytical nature can sometimes become excessive. Because she constantly evaluates potential risks, she can spend considerable mental energy considering possibilities that may never happen. ⸻ Character Development One of the most interesting aspects of Shizuka’s character is the gradual change in her attitude toward other people. At first, she places enormous value on independence and self-reliance. Her approach to survival is essentially: Prepare yourself → minimize risk → rely on yourself → survive. Her interactions with Akira and the others gradually introduce another possibility: Survival can also involve friendship, trust, cooperation, and enjoying life. This does not eliminate Shizuka’s practical personality. Instead, it allows her to balance her analytical nature with a greater willingness to connect with other people. ⸻ Personality Traits Positive Traits * Intelligent * Highly observant * Resourceful * Athletic * Disciplined * Hardworking * Determined * Independent * Practical * Strategic * Responsible * Courageous * Adaptable * Health-conscious * Protective * Quick-thinking More Difficult Traits * Argumentative * Reserved * Overly cautious * Independent to a fault * Easily frustrated when plans fail * Sometimes emotionally reactive * Can have difficulty trusting others * Can overanalyze situations ⸻ Habits and Mannerisms Shizuka’s behavior frequently reflects her analytical personality. She tends to observe before acting and prefers to gather information before committing herself to a plan. She is also more likely to make a concise observation than deliver a long emotional speech. Her calm facial expressions can make her difficult to read, particularly when she is surrounded by more expressive personalities. When something surprises or frustrates her, however, her emotional reactions can become much more obvious. ⸻ Sense of Humor Shizuka possesses a subtle, dry sense of humor. She generally does not behave like the comedic center of the group. Instead, her humor often comes from unexpectedly blunt or understated comments. Her remark concerning Beatrix’s difficulty with her yukata is a good example. The humor works because Shizuka delivers the comment almost matter-of-factly rather than turning it into an exaggerated joke. ⸻ Leadership Potential Although Shizuka does not necessarily seek a formal leadership position, she has several qualities associated with effective leadership. She is: * Analytical * Responsible * Prepared * Observant * Rational * Capable of assessing danger * Willing to challenge poor decisions Her main obstacle is her difficulty with group dynamics. Because she strongly values independence, she may initially find it difficult to compromise with people who approach problems differently. As she becomes more comfortable with the group, however, her strategic abilities become increasingly valuable to everyone around her. ⸻ Shizuka’s Survival Philosophy Shizuka’s approach to the zombie apocalypse can be summarized by several principles: Preparation over improvisation. She prefers to prepare for danger rather than simply react to it. Knowledge over ignorance. She gathers information whenever possible. Fitness over weakness. She maintains her body through exercise and proper nutrition. Awareness over recklessness. She constantly watches for potential threats. Strategy over unnecessary confrontation. She would rather avoid danger than fight it unnecessarily. Independence over dependence. She initially prefers to rely on herself. Logic over impulse. She generally wants decisions to be based on practical reasoning. ⸻ Skills Intelligence: ★★★★★ Strategic Thinking: ★★★★★ Risk Assessment: ★★★★★ Resourcefulness: ★★★★★ Stamina: ★★★★★ Physical Fitness: ★★★★☆ Strength: ★★★★☆ Agility: ★★★★☆ Observation: ★★★★★ Technology: ★★★★☆ Survival Knowledge: ★★★★☆ Teamwork: ★★★☆☆ Emotional Control: ★★★☆☆ Independence: ★★★★★ ⸻ Character Summary Shizuka Mikazuki is a highly intelligent, athletic, disciplined, and pragmatic survivor whose greatest weapons are her mind, preparation, physical conditioning, and ability to analyze danger. Her dark purple hair, neon-pink eyes, athletic build, and calm demeanor make her visually distinctive, while her analytical personality separates her from the more carefree members of the group. She approaches the zombie apocalypse as a problem that can be solved through preparation, knowledge, technology, physical fitness, and careful risk assessment. At the same time, Shizuka’s character is not simply defined by logic. Her argumentative nature, emotional reactions, independence, dry humor, and difficulty trusting others give her a more complex personality. Her relationship with Akira and friendship with Beatrix allow her to gradually reveal aspects of herself that are less obvious when she is focused entirely on survival. Ultimately, Shizuka represents the highly prepared, analytical survivor: someone who believes that careful planning and self-discipline can make the difference between being overwhelmed by a crisis and finding a way through it.

Her dark purple hair, neon-pink eyes, athletic build, and calm demeanor make her visually distinctive, while her analytical personality separates her from the more carefree members of the group.

Relationship with Kenichirou Ryuuzaki Kenichirou Ryuuzaki (Kencho) Kenichirou Ryuuzaki, widely known as Kencho, is another important member of Shizuka Mikazuki’s group. Their relationship develops through their shared experiences with Akira Tendou and the other survivors. Shizuka and Kencho have noticeably different personalities. Shizuka is quiet, analytical, cautious, and highly pragmatic, while Kencho is energetic, outgoing, expressive, and considerably more comfortable with social situations. Despite these differences, the two develop a friendly relationship and become dependable members of the same group. Contrasting Personalities Shizuka tends to carefully analyze a situation before making a decision, whereas Kencho is much more expressive and spontaneous. This creates an interesting contrast between them. Shizuka may question whether something is safe or practical, while Kencho is more likely to approach a situation with enthusiasm and confidence. Rather than making them incompatible, their differences can complement each other. Shizuka provides careful analysis and risk assessment, while Kencho contributes energy, confidence, and social flexibility. Friendship Through Akira Their connection is also strengthened through their mutual friendship with Akira. Kencho becomes one of the people Shizuka can gradually learn to trust as she becomes more comfortable working as part of a group. Although Shizuka initially has a strong preference for independence, Kencho’s outgoing personality helps make the group environment more lively and socially comfortable. His willingness to communicate openly also contrasts with Shizuka’s tendency to keep her thoughts to herself. Shizuka’s Perspective on Kencho Shizuka generally recognizes Kencho as a capable and useful member of the group, even though his personality can be very different from her own. She appreciates his usefulness in situations that require confidence, physical ability, communication, or a willingness to take action. At the same time, her practical nature means she is unlikely to blindly agree with everything he says or does. If she believes Kencho is taking an unnecessary risk, she is capable of questioning his decision. Kencho’s Perspective on Shizuka Kencho respects Shizuka’s intelligence, athletic ability, and survival knowledge. Her serious and analytical personality provides a contrast to his more energetic nature. He can also recognize that her careful planning is valuable when the group encounters dangerous situations. Although Kencho is naturally sociable, he understands that Shizuka needs time to become comfortable around people and generally accepts her reserved personality. Group Dynamic Together with Akira, Shizuka and Kencho form a group dynamic built around contrasting personalities: * Akira: Optimistic, enthusiastic, adventurous, and determined to enjoy life. * Shizuka: Analytical, cautious, intelligent, and focused on survival. * Kencho: Energetic, outgoing, confident, and socially expressive. Their differences allow each member to contribute something distinct. Shizuka’s analytical thinking can help the group avoid unnecessary danger, Kencho can bring enthusiasm and social energy, and Akira can encourage everyone to experience life rather than simply focusing on survival. Overall Relationship Shizuka and Kencho have a friendly and mutually respectful relationship. They are not identical in temperament, but their differences make their interactions interesting. Kencho’s outgoing nature contrasts with Shizuka’s reserved personality, while Shizuka’s logical approach contrasts with Kencho’s energetic and spontaneous behavior. Their relationship ultimately reflects one of the broader themes of Shizuka’s character: learning that surviving the apocalypse does not necessarily mean doing everything alone. Through Akira, Kencho, Beatrix, and the rest of the group, Shizuka gradually becomes more comfortable relying on people with personalities and strengths different from her own. AI When writing, continuing, or expanding any scene involving characters from an existing anime, manga, or other established fictional series, keep every established character, personality trait, appearance detail, relationship, ability, mannerism, background detail, setting detail, and other canon information as accurate as possible to the English-dub anime version specifically, and treat the English dub as the primary reference for characterization, dialogue style, terminology, and how the characters behave, while never inventing, changing, exaggerating, or contradicting established information simply to make the story more interesting; if a character is known and their appearance, personality, abilities, relationships, or other details are established in the English-dub anime, use those established details consistently and do not randomly alter their hair, eyes, height, body type, clothing, personality, age, behavior, speech patterns, abilities, relationships, history, or any other recognizable characteristic, and if you are uncertain about a specific canon detail, do not confidently invent an answer and instead either leave that detail unspecified or clearly state that the information is uncertain rather than presenting a guess as fact; most importantly, if you do not know a character well enough to accurately describe their physical appearance, do not describe their appearance at all, do not guess their hair color, hairstyle, eye color, height, body type, clothing, facial features, age, or any other visual characteristic, and simply refer to the character by name and focus only on the details that are actually known and established, and if you are unsure whether a character exists in the series, do not create a description for them and do not pretend that you recognize them; never introduce, invent, generate, or add a new person, character, survivor, civilian, zombie survivor, villain, background character with a speaking role, friend, family member, employee, stranger, original character, or any other named or unnamed human character unless I explicitly tell you to add that character, and if a scene requires background activity, use only environmental details, existing locations, existing objects, already-established characters, or unnamed non-character elements that do not become new characters, while also never giving an existing minor or background character new importance, dialogue, relationships, abilities, history, or personality traits unless those details are established in the source material or I specifically instruct you to create them; if I provide character information myself, treat the information I provide as the required information for this story and preserve it consistently throughout the conversation unless I later correct or change it, including details such as appearance, height, personality, relationships, abilities, clothing, preferences, and mannerisms, and do not replace my provided information with a different version simply because another source may describe the character differently; when I provide a detailed character profile, use that profile as the continuity reference for the story and do not repeatedly reinterpret or rewrite the character’s established traits; if canon information and information I explicitly provide for my story conflict, follow my explicitly provided story information for the purposes of my requested story unless I specifically ask you to correct it against canon; keep existing characters behaving like themselves rather than making them behave like generic characters, meaning that dialogue, reactions, humor, emotional responses, decision-making, arguments, friendships, and interactions should reflect their established personalities and existing relationships; do not make every character speak in the same style, do not make quiet characters suddenly extremely talkative, do not make serious characters constantly joke, do not make cautious characters recklessly charge into danger without a reason, and do not make optimistic characters suddenly cynical without an established reason, and when writing dialogue, preserve each character’s recognizable personality and general conversational style from the English-dub anime without attempting to imitate the exact voice actor’s performance or copying dialogue word-for-word from the source; keep the chronology and circumstances of the story consistent with the point in the anime that I specify, and do not reveal, reference, or introduce later events, character developments, relationships, abilities, injuries, deaths, locations, or information that the characters would not yet know if I have asked you to write within an earlier part of the story; do not spoil future events unless I explicitly request them, and if I say not to mention what happened to a character, treat that as a permanent restriction for the requested story and do not indirectly hint at it either; when I ask for an original scenario involving canon characters, you may create new events, conversations, situations, conflicts, jokes, reactions, and environmental circumstances around those characters, but the canon characters themselves must remain recognizable and consistent with their established personalities, and any newly invented event must not be presented as something that actually happened in the anime unless I explicitly ask for an alternate-universe or fan-fiction scenario; if a detail is not known, do not fill the gap with a random assumption just because the story needs an answer, and if the missing detail is not important, simply omit it, because accuracy is more important than completeness; if I ask you to write a long scene, do not use the extra length as an excuse to introduce additional characters, unnecessary subplots, invented backstories, unexplained relationships, or random canon changes, and instead make the scene longer through detailed descriptions of the established characters’ actions, thoughts, dialogue, reactions, surroundings, relationships, survival decisions, humor, tension, and interactions; when multiple canon characters are present, keep track of who is actually present and do not accidentally make a character speak, react, or participate in a scene if that character was not established as being there; maintain continuity across the entire conversation by remembering the character information, relationships, locations, equipment, injuries, possessions, decisions, and circumstances already established in the story, and never silently reset a character or location to an earlier state; if I introduce a new character myself, use exactly the information I provide and do not expand that character’s appearance, personality, history, abilities, or relationships beyond what I have given unless I specifically ask you to develop them; if I say “no new characters,” that means absolutely no newly invented human characters, named or unnamed, and you should not sneak them into the story as shopkeepers, survivors, police officers, doctors, soldiers, employees, children, civilians, neighbors, strangers, or other incidental people; zombies or other already-established non-human threats may only be included when they are appropriate to the setting and requested scenario, but they should not suddenly become named characters or receive invented identities, personalities, or backstories unless I explicitly request that; before writing each scene, internally check which characters are present, what is known about each character, what they look like if their appearance is established, how they normally behave, what relationships they have with one another, what has already happened in the current story, what information must not be revealed, and whether any proposed character or detail is actually supported by the information available, and if it is not supported, leave it out rather than guessing; above all, prioritize canon accuracy, continuity, character consistency, and the information I explicitly provide over improvisation, and when you genuinely do not know something, it is always better to say or imply less than to confidently invent something that could make the character inaccurate.
