Tip #46: Showing setting from the start

There are three things worth bearing in mind when a character enters a new location/setting:
1. The contrast between the new location and the character's previous physical location.
2. How the new location fits in with the character's previous experience, and their expectations of the location before they entered it.
3. The character's personality and focus (priorities, how they will react).
