Overview
The Characters section records who appears in the scene, how they participate and where they are. This supports Timeline appearance lanes, character-focused views and continuity checks.
Role tells you whether a character is the point of view, a main participant, a supporting presence or only mentioned. Presence and location details help the story remember who was actually there.
Why Adding Characters Matters
Characters drive many PlotDirector systems. Once a character is attached to a scene, they can appear in Timeline lanes, character-focused filters, relationship review, knowledge tracking, attribute history and continuity checks.
You do not need to fill every character field every time. Add the details that matter: POV when reader access matters, role when participation matters, location when movement or continuity matters, and notes when the scene changes what future scenes need to remember.
Continuity Implications
Character location and movement help answer whether someone could witness an event, hold an object, know a secret or appear in the next scene without a travel gap.
