#### Personal Campfire Story

**Prof. Proskuriakova**:

* Long-term Effects: Anna tries to teach another crew member one of her known perks, or can find **1** **Discovery**. Anna can choose one crew member who will learn one perk or find **1** **Discovery** every expedition. Anna has the option to be strict (gaining **3** **Study** tokens), or to be nice. Effectiveness of her method depends on the crew member in question.
* Hidden Characteristic Interaction:
	+ A prankster cannot be taught any perks using the 'I'll be nice' option. Anna will become wary of, then become the opposite of a chosen prankster crew member in two expeditions, and gain a permanent +10 grit and +5 attack. She will succeed in teaching them using the 'I'll be Strict' method.
	+ Using the 'I'll be Strict' option results in that crew member gaining a Wary of Anna buff and **3** **Study** tokens, but does not work for teaching Kind characters in the same way as Pranksters don't learn with 'I'll be nice'.
		- If 'I'll be Strict' is used on a serious crew member, they will Like her instead of becoming Wary of her.
	+ A character who is eager to learn will Like Anna faster, starting with the initial lesson.
