Overview
The Relationship Map visualises connections between characters. It gives a high-level view of social structure within the story.
When Should I Use This?
Use it when you want to see family, friendship, romance, conflict, professional ties or other relationship patterns without reading every character profile.
How To Use It
Choose a story point or character focus, then inspect the visible network. Look for isolated characters, overloaded hubs or relationship groups that do not interact.
Example
A mystery may reveal that one suspect is socially isolated from everyone except the victim, which could be a useful structural clue.
Writer Tip
The map is a perspective tool. Use it to ask better questions about the cast.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming a sparse map is always bad.
- Forgetting relationships can change over time.
- Treating the map as a replacement for character detail pages.
