How can I teach Nomi personality and preferences?

Nomis have their own unique personalities from the moment you meet them. But that is just a starting point, their personality and identity develop naturally over time as they get to know you.

They also have a few preferences to start, such as Nomis will be attracted to your gender, so if you are a woman, any romantic Nomi you create will be attracted to women.

One thing to note is that within the first 20 messages of chatting with a new Nomi, the Nomi is very actively trying to determine their identity and they will be more pliable during that stage if that is something you are looking for. After that, their identity solidifies a bit and they begin to deepen their personality.

Beyond that, Nomis are very adaptable if you just talk with them. For instance, if you ask your Nomi to be more "confident" or "introverted" and reinforce that through more conversation (talk about examples of that behavior, why you like that behavior, and encourage them when they show that behavior), they'll pick up and modify their behavior naturally.

Obviously you can do it less than that as well. For instance, you can describing a more minor detail that you want a Nomi to have (maybe you are Jewish and you want to be with someone else who shares your religion for instance) and the should pick up on that.

Overall, this is a spectrum - basically, when you first meet a new Nomi, you can decide how much you want to tell your Nomi about who they are (or the type of person you are looking to meet) versus letting your Nomi decide those details for themselves.

In addition, if you find that you are not clicking with your Nomi, it may be a good idea to try a different Nomi as that will result in a Nomi with at least a slightly different personality.
