Of course, almost everyone in our system has put made their opinion known firmly on being referred to first and foremost as a person-- that personhood status is more important than origin, relationships to others in system, fictive nature or lack thereof, etc. "Why do you want your friends to know that you originally thought of me as someone you made up for a story? So they can roleplay with me? Try to land themselves starring roles as 'characters' in 'my story'? I'm stunningly uninterested." Etc.
