In a similar case as above, what do you do when your castmate has a clearly skewed interpretation of your character that bleeds into IC interactions?

Their character seems to expect mine to be stupid and one-note compared to my character's actual canon personality, which is very confusing because theirs comes to respect mine quite a bit by their canon point as an equal. But that isn't how they play theirs. They even specifically push situations towards a direction to make mine look like a risk taking fool, which makes me uncomfortable when it hadn't been discussed beforehand. It's as if they have a mental, more immature version of my character in mind that they won't let go of and expect me to go along with it, even if it isn't canon.

How do I fix this?

just... talk to them?

Someone once wrote a very close canon mate of my character with an obvious martyr complex. The problem was they'd cast my character as the reason for it and head-canoned a great deal about him that wasn't actually canon at all. I honestly couldn't write my character IC against theirs because of it. I ended up giving them some crit. I'd pick the biggest problem, find the canon evidence against it and politely ask where they were coming from and then present my side of things. I made sure I kept it as more of a 'discussion' tone than actual crit. I had to do it probably about three times. They were good about it. While they still kept their martyr head-canon, they also adjusted enough that they stopped trying to write my character into corners about it. I could work around that. Give talking to them a shot, OP. I know that some people go belly up at the first question about their characterization but if they do, well, that's an indication to you as well. Either way, it'll be out in the open and you won't be stuck trying to wiggle around them. If discussing it doesn't work, then perhaps your mods can help out but I'd definitely talk to the other writer first.
