Then I would ask you, why are they separate traits? Because Determination and Perseverance are not the same, they are only similar, but I am here from different reason. Not everything is by the dictionary definition when it comes to different contexts. Properly made definition is always based on actual state and that's what matters. Definitions are crucial basics of understanding.

What you said mirrors my definition in its own way. You just have muddled DT and FW in one sentence: Determination is choosing your own destiny. Then I decided to add some details because you have made unclear definition of FW: Free will means having the choice to do something. That's why i said what i have said. Simple example - being filled with determination, Frisk is able to bang their head against the wall untill one of them break. However, using free will they can decide to stop using their head and to simply go around, but it is still only a thought in their head - Frisk is still standing in one place. Now they must act, but in order to start going around, at least small amount of determination is required, or else they won't move an inch. More difficult tasks Frisk ecnounters, more determination they need to overcome them. That how things work.
