Correct way to override model constructor

Hello. Apologies if I overlooked something but I have combed the documentation trying to figure out a working technique for overriding the instance __init__/constructor method (i.e. to set up some non-db-backed instance vars etc, after the instance is initialized - whether when being pulled out of the db or from direct instantiation). I tried overriding __init__ (as it is defined with the signature here) and, calling super.__init__ at the top of the overriding method body, but does not seem to ever get called. I may be missing something. If it helps any to clarify I'm either looking for how to do this override directly or if there is a callback etc (something like the equivalent of Rails/ActiveRecord's after_initialize callback). Thank you 🙏

Start with tortoise/models.py around the init definition linked in the issue, then trace how model instances are constructed for database loading and direct instantiation. Compare the supported lifecycle behavior with the documentation; done means documenting the correct override technique or explicitly explaining whether an initialization callback exists.
