## Tips for Finding Great Characters

<Tip>
  Search by personality type rather than name — things like *"helpful"*, *"sarcastic"*, *"motivational"*, or *"tech"* turn up great results.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Check the character's description carefully before inviting it to your server. The description tells you exactly how it will behave.
