# Overview
|
|
|
|
Current Relationships show the latest known state between this character and others. They are calculated from the initial relationship plus relationship events in story order.
|
|
|
|
# When Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
Use this section when you need a quick answer to "Where does this relationship stand now?" It is especially useful before writing scenes with emotional tension, betrayal, reconciliation or reveal fallout.
|
|
|
|
# How To Use It
|
|
|
|
Read the current state first, then open View History when you need the sequence that led there. Use the links to open the related character or relationship evolution page for deeper checking.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
Rebecca may begin as a friend, become estranged after a discovery, and later reconcile. Current Relationships should show the latest state while preserving the earlier turns in history.
|
|
|
|
# Writer Tip
|
|
|
|
If the current state surprises you, that is useful. It may reveal either an exciting story turn or a missing relationship event.
|
|
|
|
# Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Expecting current state to overwrite history.
|
|
- Forgetting that current state depends on story order.
|
|
- Adding a new initial relationship when the change should be an event.
|
|
- Ignoring relationship confidence or intensity when emotion matters.
