Overview
Character appearance markers show where a character is present in the story. They help you see who is active, who disappears for long stretches, and whether a character's role matches the arc you intend.
Presence can mean more than standing in the room. A character may be a point-of-view character, a main participant, a mentioned person or someone whose absence matters.
How Authors Use This
Focus on one character to review their arc.
Check whether a point-of-view character has enough page presence.
Find long absences that may need a reminder, explanation or deliberate silence.
Compare character activity against relationship, knowledge and attribute changes in the Scene Inspector.
