Rival Dialogues: Personality Discrepancy?

So I recently got my 14th rival, and he’s an angry personality mage. Except, the weird part is, I have never seen his dialogues on any of my other NPCs before. I’ve got rivals from all four of the WoM personalities: Bored, Angry, Smiling, and Nervous, yet his lines up with none of the others. This begs the question: Is there a fifth personality? Or are there subset dialogues for specific personalities? His generic aggro line (aggroing to a non rival) seems to be the typical angry line, yet his dialogues aren’t the same.

Here’s my new rival’s aggro dialogue:

Versus a typical angry NPC’s:

Or a bored NPC’s:

More investigation is needed. I’ll post my results once I get to the bottom of this.

Well it seems like he enjoys the rivalry

One of my files has a rival with this kind of dialogue as well, definitely my favourite rival

I think certain npc dialogue, like rival aggro and people who are about to get executed/saved from execution, might have more options than just the normal personality ones.

this is my type of rival, the “i need to get stronger” rival cause whenever i beat him he says “I’ve gotten so much stronger, yet you are stronger still…”

Maybe bounty NPCs as a whole have more than four options? Or like I said there’s two versions of the personality that have different lines
It’s just weird how it matches up with no other rival’s personality, I went through and checked a bunch and this never happened with any other (same personality, diff lines)

It may also apply to deckhands with their ability activation lines as well

I have yet to see more than bored, angry, or smiling talk anims with deckhands
It’s a lot harder to get deckhand ability dialogues too since you can’t change their job, but there’s a possibility there’s more than three lines (since deckhands always seem to say the say thing when they have their ability activated)

Kinda sounds like Animal Crossing: New Horizons where there are different kinds of dialogues to match different personalities

Vetex has shared the dialogs of different personality types, I could find the file if you’d like to read them!

Really?
That would be really helpful, send me it if you can

Ok so forums doesn’t like the txt. File type so I can either send it to you on discord or screenshot the text here

Send it to me on Discord then
Or you can put it in a google doc and share it

So as it turns out, the answer is that there is in fact a fifth personality, kind of a combination between angry and smiling. And that’s what the different dialogue comes from. The generic dialogue is very similar to angry personality, which is why I didn’t notice until he became my rival.
Surprised I’ve gone thirteen rivals before I found this personality for a rival. I guess I’ll call it “competitive” personality for now, seems to fit it most.

share that doc with me too

thats what my rival has, he says “i need to get stronger next time” and shit like that

It's pretty long
