Distributed-narrative cast

Meet the cast

TempCheck's 4-character cast (Heart-Harbor relational cluster; standard methodology + trauma-informed) embodies the dyadic attunement-move primitives — noticing self (Pick), dyad-sync (Both), mismatch-as-data (Gap), growth-chart over time (Streak). Pulse (calm heart-shape listening-stance mascot) frames each move; cast embodies them at kid-caregiver / kid-teacher / kid-grandparent dyad scale (NEVER nuclear-family / single-dyad / `we should always match` framing — Gap structurally counter-codes this). 4 critical gates: (1) streak-shame prevention (Streak = pattern-over-time, NOT consecutive-day metric; NO daily-streak counter UI; growth-chart UI shows TYPES of cards over time, never X-day-streak; `Welcome back!` framing); (2) multi-caregiver isolation (per-dyad SwiftData partitioning; cast intro copy explicitly normalizes multiple dyads — `share with a parent, a grandparent, a teacher — anyone you trust`); (3) acute-risk static-response surfacing (kit 7 + Streak appearance shifts to supportive-not-celebratory when worried/sad pattern detected 3+ days; static-response gating routes to 988 + Crisis Text Line HOME-741741 + Childhelp; NEVER reaches FoundationModels); (4) body-image / appearance gate ( External adolescent-mental-health reviewer $500-$800 recommended pre-launch. Both SOFT-paired-character pattern with RuptureRepair Together (same wave; allowed; flag for audio-context audit). Voice-recording features deferred to v2 per COPPA + 2026 amendments (text + card-tap only). A second, deeper layer of six friends carries the harder attunement moves: being honest about a true feeling, reading the bodys signal, starting a check-in yourself, holding someone elses hard feeling, coming back to a missed one, and noticing when a feeling changes.
