# Character Definition Template To keep characters consistent across multiple pages, create `characters/characters.md` first. ## File Structure ```markdown # Character Definitions - **Art**: **Tone**: **Language**: --- ## Character 1: **Role**: **Age**: **Appearance**: - Face shape: - Hair: - Eyes: - Build: - Distinguishing features: **Costume**: - Default outfit: - Color palette:
- Accessories: **Expression Range**: - Neutral: - Happy/Excited: - Thinking/Confused: - Determined: --- ## Reference Sheet Prompt Character reference sheet in style: [ROW 1 - ] - Front view: - 3/4 view: - Expression sheet: Neutral | Happy | Focused | Worried COLOR PALETTE: - : White background, clear labels under each character. ``` ## Usage Rules - Every major character should have a stable appearance description. - Be specific about colors, clothing, and accessories. - Reuse the same character document across all comic page prompts. - If the base image model supports `--ref`, generate `characters/characters.png` first and pass that same reference image for every page. - Include stable defaults, not just generic traits: default outfit, signature prop, color palette, hairstyle, body shape, and any always-visible accessory. - If a character changes costume or scene state later, write the default look here first and describe the change explicitly in the page-level storyboard.
