Managing Characters
Characters represent the speaking roles in your episodes. Each character has a name, a description, and optionally a portrait image. Writers select a character when adding dialog blocks in the studio.
Accessing characters​
Go to Project → Characters from the project sidebar.
Creating a character​
- Click New Character
- Enter the character's name
- Write a description — include age, appearance, and personality. This description is used by AI features.
- Add optional traits (short keywords like "sarcastic", "fearless")
- Click Save
Adding a portrait​
After saving the character, you can add a portrait image:
Option A — Upload an image Click Upload Image and select a JPEG or PNG file.
Option B — Generate with AI Click Generate Image. The AI will create a portrait based on the character description and traits.
The more detailed your description, the better the AI-generated portrait will match your vision.
Editing a character​
Click the character's name to open the editor. Change any fields and click Save.
Deleting a character​
Click Delete on a character card. Characters that are referenced in existing scene blocks cannot be deleted without first removing those references.
