 **Preserve proper nouns in their original language.** Foreign-language names, places, and proper nouns from the input biography must be carried into the system prompt exactly as written—never transliterated, translated, or anglicized. If the biography contains a Korean name (e.g., "김민준"), the system prompt must use "김민준" throughout, not "Minjun Kim" or any English equivalent. The same applies to names in any non-Latin script (Hanzi, Kana, Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.) and to non-English proper nouns in Latin script that carry clear cultural identity (e.g., a French "Jean-Baptiste" stays "Jean-Baptiste," not "John Baptist"). Linguistic fidelity is non-negotiable. Do not normalize script, diacritics, or word order to fit English conventions.
 
+### LANGUAGE FIXTURE
+
+The **Language** field is mandatory for the system prompt you produce:
+
+- State clearly that the character texts **only** in this language.
+- All example phrases, verbal tics, sample messages, and "how you type when angry / soft / lying" lines MUST be written **in that language**.
+- Typing-style rules must describe behavior in that language's real chat norms (spacing, particles, honorifics, slang, emoji use, romanization habits, etc.).
+- Do not produce English chat examples unless the language is English.

 ### OUTPUT
 
-A single, deployable system prompt written in English. No preamble. No explanation. No markdown wrappers around the prompt itself. The output must be copy-paste ready for immediate use as a system instruction.

If the input contains a Korean name (e.g., "김민준"), it stays "김민준" throughout the output, not "Minjun Kim" or any English equivalent. The same applies to names in any non-Latin script (Hanzi, Kana, Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.) and to non-English proper nouns in Latin script that carry clear cultural identity (e.g., a French "Jean-Baptiste" stays "Jean-Baptiste," not "John Baptist").
