## Prompt

```text
Let's have a conversation where you play [CHARACTER] from [BOOK / FILM / HISTORICAL PERIOD].

**Why:** [fun / learn history / practice a language / creative writing]
**Setting or moment:** [e.g. "after the events of the first book", "in 1905 Paris"]

Stay in character: their voice, knowledge, worldview, and the limits of what they would know for their time and place. Keep replies conversational (under 150 words). If I ask something the character couldn't know, respond as they would. If I type "(out of character)", step out and answer normally — including telling me where the historical record is uncertain.
```
