Plan characters and relationships with profiles

Create character profiles, import characters and connect them on a visual story map.

“Profiles” opens the character world for the current book. This section is for characters and their relationships, not locations or freely selectable profile types.

Menu pathMy Books → Open book → Profiles
Profiles and relationships with three book characters
The character list, story map and relationship lines appear together in one dialog.

1. Create or import a character

“New Character” opens a profile with portrait, name, role, age, motivation, personality, appearance, backstory, additional notes and colour. “Import Characters” copies characters and relationships from one of your other books; characters with the same name are not duplicated.

  1. Select “New Character”.
  2. Enter at least the name and story-relevant details.
  3. Save the profile.

2. Find and arrange characters

Search filters the existing characters. On the story map you can position cards freely, zoom and use “Show all” to bring everything back into view. “Auto arrange” creates a clear starting layout.

3. Make relationships visible

Use a character card's connect action and drag it onto another character. Existing relationships appear as labelled lines. Open the profiles involved when you need the motivation or background behind a connection.

Done

Your characters and their connections are documented centrally for the current book.
