Create a character introduction scene for {{character_name}}, a {{character_role}} in a {{genre}} story. Reveal their personality entirely through action and visual storytelling—no dialogue allowed in the first draft.

Show:
1. A signature physical behavior or habit
2. How they interact with their environment
3. Their status relative to others in the space
4. A contradiction that hints at hidden depth
5. A micro-decision that defines their values

Write as a 1-2 page screenplay sequence. Then provide a brief analysis of what each visual choice communicates to the audience.
