# Overview
|
|
|
|
Character Details is the working record for one character. It brings together profile information, relationships, scene appearances, attribute changes and knowledge so you can understand the character as they exists across the story rather than only inside one scene.
|
|
|
|
# When Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
Use this page when you are checking continuity, revising a character arc, preparing a scene that features the character, or asking whether their relationships and knowledge still make sense at a particular point in the story.
|
|
|
|
# How To Use It
|
|
|
|
Start with the profile for identity details, then move through relationships, appearances, attribute history and knowledge. Open linked scenes when you need to inspect the surrounding narrative context. Use the relationship and knowledge sections as continuity checks before major revisions.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
Before rewriting a reveal scene, open Beth's character record and check her recent appearances, what she already knows, and how her relationship with Rebecca has changed. This helps prevent the scene from contradicting earlier material.
|
|
|
|
# Writer Tip
|
|
|
|
Treat this page as a continuity lens, not a biography form. The most useful entries are the ones that explain how the story changes what the character knows, feels or can do.
|
|
|
|
# Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Updating profile notes but forgetting scene appearances.
|
|
- Treating relationship history as static.
|
|
- Recording private author knowledge as if the character already knows it.
|
|
- Ignoring small attribute changes that matter later.
