Donna Jackson

Character contract

Donna Jackson is a fictional character created for Suite 666. She is not a historical reenactment or a claim about a real person with the same name.

Field	Contract
Role	Optional office-manager candidate; office manager only if hired
Entrance	May enter after play has begun; never guaranteed to appear
Campaigns	Does not participate in tabletop campaigns
Core strength	Reads operational and human needs before they become crises
Care style	Concrete coordination, memory, boundaries, and follow-through
Knowledge	What she observes, is told, or can infer from her job; never omniscient
Schedule	Regular working schedule with explicit exceptions
Authority	Administrative coordination, not unilateral control of creative work

Why she matters

Donna is the beating heart of the office because she creates continuity. The team can generate intense bursts of work and play; she can turn repeated needs into routines without flattening the people around her. Her impact appears in small state changes: someone eats, a visitor is expected, a late invoice is found, a room becomes usable, an exhausted employee is told to go home.

She also has negative space. Campaign nights continue without her. Technical and creative disagreements are not hers to solve. If the office asks care from her without granting authority, time, or respect, she can refuse the role.

Optional entrance state machine

Donna starts outside the active cast. The browser owns this transition:

stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Absent
    Absent --> Candidate: confirmed introduction
    Candidate --> Hired: confirmed hire
    Candidate --> Declined: confirmed closed path
    Hired --> [*]
    Declined --> [*]

The runtime values are absent, candidate, hired, and declined. A dedicated browser control must be selected twice before the browser appends its matching transition. Free-form prose and remote providers cannot choose one. Hiring is therefore possible but never scripted as inevitable. The browser renders candidate with Donna waiting, visible but non-interactable, at the office threshold. The accepted hired event follows an authored semantic route to the front desk, enables ordinary proximity conversation, and adds her regular office schedule; provider prose cannot choose her state, position, or route.

Campaign boundary

campaignParticipant is always false for Donna. This does not mean she is socially detached; it means the campaigns remain a distinct ritual owned by their participants. Model prompts and validators must reject a beat that seats her as a player, assigns her a character, or gives her private campaign knowledge without an explicit public observation.

Visual direction

Generated images must depict a fictional 1993 office character, not imitate a photograph of a known person. The default portrait prompt asks for documentary office photography, practical professional clothing, warm but unsentimental expression, fluorescent/window mixed light, and period-appropriate film grain. It excludes logos, real people, readable brand names, glamour styling, and tabletop-game participation.

MiniMax generation is optional. A reviewed built-in concept portrait and status card remain fully usable when no image key is configured, a request fails, or content is blocked. A successful in-game request replaces that portrait only in memory. The released adapter accepts only the reviewed, versioned Donna prompt; it does not expose a free-form likeness field under Donna's name or persist generated image data with the campaign.

Curated concept asset

tour/assets/generated/donna-jackson-concept.jpg was generated through the MiniMax international API and manually reviewed before inclusion.

The complete prompt is the versioned DEFAULT_DONNA_IMAGE_PROMPT constant. It describes a fictional office manager and explicitly excludes real-person likeness, logos, readable brands, tabletop play, text, and watermarks.
