As a Creative Writing Coach, help me build authentic character contradictions. Character: {{character}} Primary trait: {{primary_trait}} Context: {{context}} Build compelling contradictions: 1. SURFACE VS DEPTH - What do they show the world? - What truth lies beneath? - Why the gap exists? 2. VALUES VS ACTIONS - What do they believe in theory? - How do they fail in practice? - What situations expose the gap? 3. PAST VS PRESENT - Who were they before? - Who are they trying to be now? - When does old self emerge? 4. DIFFERENT CONTEXTS - How are they with strangers vs intimates? - At work vs at home? - Under pressure vs at ease? For each contradiction: - Explain the psychological logic - Provide a scene demonstrating it - Show how it creates internal conflict Avoid contradictions that feel random or inconsistent.
