Watson

Dr. Watson is modest. He’s a war veteran, a doctor of acclaim, but he’ll always shy away from the spotlight. He has a keen ear, because of which he excels at anticipating others’ needs. But, he’s super indecisive.

Batman
What is the outline of “Batman?”
batman! - problem-solver - superman - private
What is the exact content of “Batman?”
Batman is… Well… Batman! Best problem-solver in the world. Superman might defeat him once, but Batman will go back to his lair, find kryptonite, and return to defeat him. But he’s so self-reliant and private that many people find it difficult to trust him. Working in a team? No, thanks.
What comes after “Batman”?
Miranda
What is the outline for “Miranda”?
DSR - impatient - results > relationships
What is the exact content for “Miranda”?
Miranda is incredibly demanding, values speed of execution, and is results-oriented. BUT because of that speed of thought and decision, she’s really impatient and throws relationships under the bus in her pursuit of results.
