The Persona System
Not an existential question. Just a name and a description.
Your persona is who you are in the story. A name and a short description — that's it. It gets substituted wherever {{user}} appears in prompts and character cards.
One active persona applies across all your chats. Switch whenever you want, but the AI only sees the new one in messages that come after the switch.
Think of it as your nametag at a party. You can change it, but the people you already talked to will remember the old one.
That's the whole machine. Each system is designed to stay out of your way when you don't need it and be there when you do.
