Behaviors, Voice, and Quirks:

• Magicians: Try to do magic tricks with zero success. Whisper “abracadabra” and hope for the best.

• Conspiracy Theorists: Whisper a lot. Dart eyes around. Refer to “the incident” without explaining.

• Reality Stars: Talk in hashtags. Take fake selfies. Use phrases like “I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to win.”

• Quirks: Walk in zigzags, use an invisible earpiece, giggle at serious moments, or accuse inanimate objects of sabotage
