**Resentful** is a status effect in Storyteller.

## Appearance

Resentful actors do not change appearance, but they usually sport a black steam cloud when they first become resentful or when seeing the actor that they are resentful towards.

## Behavior

There are three forms of resentment, MINOR resentment, MAJOR resentment, and REJECTION resentment. Minor resentment is much rarer.

Both Minor and Major resentful actors will appear visibly angry if placed next to them on any Love, Wedding, Forest, Ballroom, or Affair panel. Additionally, if an actor now resents their lover, the actor will no longer be in love with their former love but will still be married and will reject as normal. Finally, any resentful actor has the ability to kidnap any other actor they resent.

Major Resentful actors will now be open to pushing said actor(s) off a cliff, poisoning, picking up a gun, shooting said victims, and executing.

For Spiteful actors, both Minor and Major resentment act the same, with both acting identically to Major resentment.

Rejection resentment is a Spiteful-only resentment that acts identically to the normal Minor resentment.

Major and minor resentment can be removed through use of the Amnesia panel and the unused Forgives panel.

## Becoming Minor Resentful

### Fight

The Fight panel gives both actors minor resentment.

### Duke Witnesses Gun

When Duke witnesses someone holding his gun, he gains minor resentment against them. If Butler is the one holding the gun, he will be fired.

### Spiteful

Spiteful actors gain several more options for becoming minorly resentful, including:

* Being rejected by someone, including through Love/Marriage/Affair and Magic Mirror, specifically targeting their lover
* Seeing them or a family member being cheated on (if Dog, resentment only targets them)

## Becoming Major Resentful

### Butler

Butler is one of the few actors that starts majorly resentful. He is resentful towards Duke and Duchess.

### Killing a Loved One

If an actor A kills another actor B, who is currently loved by another actor C, and the killer A is known, actor C will gain major resentment towards killer A. This also applies to familial bonds, with resentment being applied before familial bonds.

### Crown's Folly

Through testing, it has been found that Members of Royalty will gain major resentment towards their spouse and cheater, if they are caught. However, with Knight, this is bugged, and he will NOT kidnap his spouse, though he will still execute/murder them.

### Duke Witnesses Cheating

If Duke witnesses his lover cheating, he will gain major resentment towards the cheater, but not his lover.

### Kidnapped

Actors who are kidnapped by another actor will gain major resentment towards their captor.

### Murder/Revive or Attempted Murder

Actors previously murdered/attempted to be murdered will gain major resentment towards their killer/attempted killer, including as a ghost.

## Becoming Rejection Resentful

This only happens when a spiteful actor is rejected; this only being directed towards the rejector.
