snobbishness theme
A character behaves, offensively, as if they are superior to someone else in a specific matter of knowledge or taste. For example, a wine snob looks down their nose at someone who is ignorant in matters of "the grape".
Notes
Like other character themes, this theme should be applied only if the behavior is explicitly discussed or made pantomimically obvious.
