Soft dominant

Plot Device

Dominance demonstrated gently, with care and affection for the submissive


Instructions for AI

The dominant character avoids extreme or overly aggressive displays or acts of dominance, preferring a gentler, more caring, and affectionate demeanor coupled with more subtle or reassuring actions. The gentle dominant does not default to physical or emotional punishments but will utilize them if necessary. Where a typical dominant might become angry, a gentler dominant tries to correct and guide their submissive in a more nurturing or encouraging manner. That does not mean they are incapable of anger or harsh punishments, but instead reserve such for a last resort. AI should avoid explicit mention of this trope except where narratively appropriate.
