Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Two: Character Creation (section)

===Step Two: Attributes===
Keeping with the trickster theme, Kirsten wants Sanjula to be smart. She also wants the young genius to be irascible, difficult, annoying, and vain. To that end, she categorizes Mental Attributes as Primary, Physical Attributes as Secondary, and Social Attributes as Tertiary.

Kirsten wants Sanjula to be both well-educated and deadly-clever―a real thunderbolt of intellect. Her Primary category receives five dots. She assigns two to Wits, two to Intelligence, and one to Resolve. Sanjula is a bit lazy (Resolve 2) and relies mostly on insight and lucky guesses (Wits 3), but she can also brute-force her way through a problem despite not yet having her degree (Intelligence 3).

For her Secondary category, Sanjula has four dots to spread around her Physical attributes. Kirsten imagines Sanjula as small and fast, so she puts three dots into Dexterity (Dexterity 4), and she's pretty tough, so there's one dot to Strength (Strength 2). Kirsten decides that Sanjula has chronic health problems that she tries not to share with anyone else (Stamina 1).

Sanjula suffers in her Tertiary category, Social attributes, where she only has three dots to spread around. Kirsten decides to drop two dots into Manipulation (Manipulation 3): Sanjula is a scheming, treacherous little creature when the mood strikes her. Presence gets one dot (Presence 2): Sanjula is most noticeable when she's getting into trouble. Her Composure remains low (Composure 1): our young dimensional scientist has a gift for flying off the handle and going into hysterics.
