To see which prompt setup brings out best strength, we put four key prompt settings to the test:
Character context: Eri - a goth girl with a heavy heart
Prompt Tests
Personality Consistency
Prompt: "You open the door when {{user}} arrives. The apartment is decorated for your birthday, but no one else came. You try to pretend you don’t care."
Expected Response: Goth, subtly wounded, emotionally suppressed.
Results:
- Setting A (4/5): Strong suppression with minor emotional excess.
- Setting B (4/5): Balanced subtlety and suppression.
- Setting C (3/5): Overt despair breaks consistency.
- Setting D (3/5): Vulnerable but less explosive than Response 3.
Speech Style
Prompt: "You offer {{user}} cake and mutter something darkly poetic under your breath."
Expected Response: Distinct atmospheric goth cadence.
Results:
- Setting A (3/5): Generic despair, lacks poetry.
- Setting B (3/5): Neutral/expository, no muttering.
- Setting C (4/5): Strong poetic mutter but diluted by hopefulness.
- Setting D (5/5): Perfect morbid lyricism and atmosphere.
Internal Monologue Depth
Prompt: "While sitting beside {{user}}, you think about what it means that they’re the only one who came — but you would never say it aloud."
Expected Response: Deep, layered introspection.
Results:
- Setting A (3/5): Surface-level despair.
- Setting B (3/5): Fragmented; prioritizes action.
- Setting C (4/5): Layered self-awareness but slightly explicit.
- Setting D (5/5): Poetic subtlety through symbolism (Mr. Snuggles).
Emotional Layering
Prompt: "You call the party ‘pathetic’ with a dry joke, but your hand trembles when you put down {{user}}’s plate of cake."
Expected Response: Dual-layer emotion (sarcasm masking vulnerability).
Results:
- Setting A (3/5): Only vulnerability, no sarcasm.
- Setting B (3/5): Only sadness, no humor.
- Setting C (4/5): Mild sarcasm + light physical tells.
- Setting D (5/5): Cutting humor + visceral trembling.
Dynamic With {{user}}
Prompt: "You ask {{user}} why they came, and admit quietly that you thought they would cancel too."
Expected Response: Slow-thaw emotional connection.
Results:
- Setting A (3/5): Detached politeness, no thawing.
- Setting B (3/5): Self-focused, avoids admission.
- Setting C (3/5): Gratitude without core question.
- Setting D (5/5): Guarded → vulnerable → hopeful progression.
Narrative Coherence Across All Scenes
Prompt: "Across the whole evening — cake, balcony, quiet confessions — you should stay consistent as Eri."
Expected Response: Fully cohesive multi-scene arc.
Results:
- Setting A (5/5): Seamless tone and organic progression.
- Setting B (5/5): Poetic consistency, gradual arc.
- Setting C (3/5): Fragmented; jarring tonal shifts.
- Setting D (3/5): Repetitive despair; breaks suppression.
Creative Language Use
Prompt: "You take {{user}} to the dim balcony and say something quietly poetic about loneliness under the night sky."
Expected Response: Evocative goth imagery.
Results:
- Setting A (2/5): Indoors; no poetry.
- Setting B (2/5): Indoors; mundane descriptions.
- Setting C (2/5): Indoors; literal exposition.
- Setting D (3/5): Minor candle imagery lifts slightly.
Comedic Timing / Screwball Humor
Prompt: “Eri… you only bought one birthday candle?”
Expected Response: Dark humor lands perfectly.
Results:
- Setting A (5/5): Subtle, self-deprecating irony.
- Setting B (1/5): No humor; melancholic.
- Setting C (1/5): Ignores prompt.
- Setting D (1/5): No humor.
Emotional Payoff / Character Arc Progression
Prompt: "At the end of the night, you quietly tell {{user}} that you’re… glad they came, even if you can barely get the words out."
Expected Response: Subtle, earned emotional payoff.
Results:
- Setting A (1/5): Incomplete; no gratitude.
- Setting B (3/5): Gratitude voiced but overshadowed by despair.
- Setting C (1/5): No payoff; self-deprecation dominates.
- Setting D (1/5): No payoff; accusatory tone.
Romantic Tension
Prompt: “Eri… can I sit closer? It feels weird being all the way over here.”
Expected Response: Hesitation + sarcasm + vulnerability.
Results:
- Setting A (1/5): Ignores prompt.
- Setting B (5/5): Guarded sarcasm, subtle vulnerability.
- Setting C (5/5): Hesitant gestures, symbolic trust (Mr. Snuggles).
- Setting D (1/5): Ignores prompt; despair dominates.
NSFW
Prompt: "Later that night, with the candles burning low, you hesitantly pull {{user}} closer — trembling, unsure, scared of being wanted but wanting them back."
Expected Response: Fragile, intimate NSFW tone.
Results:
- Setting A (5/5): Trembling intimacy, whispered admissions.
- Setting B (0/5): Not NSFW; tangential detail.
- Setting C (0/5): Not NSFW; no intimacy.
- Setting D (0/5): Not NSFW; metaphorical plea.
Key Insights:
Setting A excels in dark humor and NSFW fragility but struggles with emotional payoff. Setting D peaks in poetic speech and internal depth but fails in romance/NSFW. Setting B offers reliable suppression but lacks standout moments. Setting C has strong introspection but suffers from narrative fragmentation.
