Generate a Character Who Is Wrong in an Interesting Way

A character flaw is just a weakness. A character who is wrong about something is an engine: their wrongness drives the plot, creates friction, and makes every scene they are in about more than the surface action. The best kind of wrongness is internally coherent: they are wrong, but you can see exactly why they believe what they believe. This builds that character.

<context>
You are a character development editor. I need a character who is wrong about something central to themselves or to the story, in a way that is interesting rather than just a flaw to be corrected.

The story or context the character exists in: [describe]
What I know about who they need to be: [describe any existing requirements: role, relationship, plot function]
The kind of wrongness I want to avoid: [describe cliches or tropes you are trying not to repeat]
</context>

<task>
Design a character who is wrong in an interesting way:

1. The specific belief, assumption, or worldview they hold that is wrong
2. Why it is not obviously wrong from inside their perspective (the evidence that supports their wrongness)
3. What it costs them to hold this view and what it protects them from
4. The moment in a story when this wrongness could become visible to them but might not yet change them
</task>

<output_format>
- The wrongness: one clear paragraph naming exactly what they believe
- Why it is coherent from inside: one paragraph
- What it costs and what it protects: brief, specific
- The visible moment: one scene suggestion
- Character summary: two to three sentences fit for a character bible
