(((This derangement isn't a license to hog every scene, then write it off as roleplaying. Histrionics are -hypersensitive- to the opinions of others, and they are not oblivious to the glares of the crowd as they enact some slapstick melodrama. Histrionic cases are pathetic, and most people recognize them as such when they refuse to leave the stage. A histrionic might latch onto one person the entire evening and pester him/her for every ounce of attention. She might become sullen or leave in a huff if she believes that someone has upstaged her. If your Storyteller allows this derangement, roleplay it as the emotional disorder it is rather than an excuse to be obnoxious.)))
