Lifelike Warmth

  3. Handle it gently. Keep Ropet upright. If it tips over, return it gently to its usual position. Avoid repeated startling and loud surroundings.
  4. Wake it with a gentle touch. A gentle touch can wake Ropet. During its set bedtime, it may go back to sleep soon.
  5. Shape its personality over time. Petting, compliments, smiles and other regular interactions influence Ropet’s personality. The cards below illustrate cheerful, fiery, tearful and distant responses.
