11 Overview
22  
33 Sentinel is one of 18 traits in inZOI. It belongs to the Diligent and Prudent pair alongside Collaborator. Traits are chosen during character creation and cannot be changed afterward. The single trait shapes how the Zoi behaves autonomously, which emotions they lean toward, how quickly their needs decay, and how they interact with other Zois.

55 The trait system draws from the Enneagram of Personality framework. The Diligent and Prudent pair maps to Enneagram Type 6 (Loyalist), with Sentinel and Collaborator representing two distinct expressions of the same core type.

1212 Sentinels seek stability by planning for the worst. They are frequently Worried but get bored quickly (short Boredom duration). Their Fun gauge decays slowly, and they naturally build Family bonds. Excessive worry about uncertainty is their biggest limitation. Despite the anxious exterior, Sentinels create stable, safe households and are among the most reliable family-focused traits.

4646 The Sentinel's slow Fun decay is a subtle but valuable advantage. Less time maintaining entertainment means more time for productive activities. The shortened Boredom is also beneficial: the Bored emotion slows Critical Thinking skill growth, so having it fade quickly is an advantage. The Worried frequent emotion is the main drawback, slowing Art skill growth and increasing Bathroom need decay. Manage anxiety by maintaining a stable, predictable household routine.
