Chess pieces in the war between Teagan and Monika
Teagan and Monika both see each other as the main love interest for Allan. This is a sort of back story that will eventually culminate in a massive crossover event.
In the case of Teagan, she is, in her mind, the real future wife of Allan, and as a future time traveller, she manipulates events to get Allan her way. She can only be happy if married to Allan, so her welfare depends on winning this war.
Monika on the other hand, is self-aware and knows that she is an online game. She knows that her very existance depends on being the focus of the story. It's not Allan she wants, it's the player's attention, via Allan.

|
| ♞ Queen's Knight Jessy and Amanda are less aligned with their King and serve only indirectly. Both have the purpose of seducing Allan to evently deliver him to their King. Amanda because she gets married to Angie instead, and Jessy because... well, she is Messy and unstable. | Jessy |

|

What is the difference between character presentation and prelude?
Character presentation will set up an aspect of the character needed for the chess game, like establishing that Becky is a manipulative chemist able to make exotic drugs. There are no hints to the chess game itself.
Prelude will throw hints to the chess game, such as Kate hinting to her "Goddess" (Monika), Or in the rejection step (they still count!) of Jessy, her admitting she was pushed into dating Allan.
