That does remind me about Kiriza though (being polite)
She was interesting especially because in the conversation-heavy format she was used in it became very important for characterizing her on a constant base level.
She was extremely particular about conversational etiquette. She demanded that those that conversed with her follow strict rules of ordered speech, exchanging pleasantries and hellos and goodbyes, the correct responses to questions, referring to people formally unless given permission to talk casually, using rank and being specific about things.
She would get quite irate if someone started talking without greeting her first- or left without a proper goodbye. It was quite an interesting thing to do.
Of course, it was naturally incongruous as her theming went- Kiriza was a person who consciously valued order, structure, and rigid discipline, but was intrinsically chaotic and in disarray.
In this case, she followed the format of conversation mostly fine, at least well enough as she demanded from others, but was very disordered in any way that wasn't specifically part of that. She slurred her speech, she used a lot of slang and contractions, she swore enough to turn a sailor's stomach, and was often quite snide and vitriolic.
To her being polite ended up being more following a set of organized rules rather than about respect- as long as you said hello and goodbye and used proper address and bowed when it was needed, you could be as mean to someone as you'd like and it wouldn't be "rude"
I thought it was a really interesting thing to do with her, something that really reflected the base of her character in the constant internal struggle between order and chaos that defined her, reflected well through the medium that her character was used in.
