In your story, you use chat and emotes to tell what a single character does, says, and feels, and you watch the story unfold from their perspective. This character is your persona. They are the character referred to as “you” in the story that you read.
Pets allow you to chat and emote as someone (or something) other than your persona. Unlike your persona, pets are never “you” in the story.
