Body frame: believable adult frame shaped by occupation, climate, sleep, and daily routine
Posture: Derived from occupation, fatigue, confidence, climate, and relationship context; variants should track story arc stage.

Movement: complicated ally (authority figure)-appropriate expression built through behavior, not anatomy claims
Face state: soft_continuity
