Magic Hour character consistency

Make the same character survive changes of scene, pose, and camera. A repeated name or seed does not establish visual identity.

Reuse the existing character and series context. Choose staging and technical settings yourself when delegated; do not make the user fill out a character template or repeatedly approve in-budget work. Respect requested review points and show the accepted scenes first. For a cast, new angle or recurring episode, read series continuity.

Establish the anchor

Read the existing character sheet or approved image before asking for another. Separate fixed traits (face shape, hair silhouette, build, distinctive marks, rendering style) from scene variables (pose, expression, setting, lighting). Clothing is fixed only when the brief requires continuity. Record visible facts; do not infer hidden details or a real person's identity.

If there is no reference, create one useful view with ai_image_generator_create_image. Prefer a clear face and readable silhouette at the scale the story needs. An elaborate turnaround is unnecessary for two similar shots; a back view or unusual angle may need its own reviewed anchor. Keep only individually accepted views—an inconsistent contact sheet is not a better reference.

Build shots from the original

For each scene, use ai_image_editor_create_image with the approved identity image in assets.image_file_paths. If using additional pose/style images, describe each reference's role and check the chosen model's input limit. Do not merge a style donor's face or clothing into the character. Never claim reference ordering or weighting controls that the live schema does not expose.

Start with the scene change and a request to retain the reference character. State critical identity details when the brief needs them, but do not automatically copy the entire character sheet into every prompt. A detailed prompt does not rule out duplicates or omissions. In the Nori comparison, the shorter prompt preserved details better in one scene; added identity instructions helped another. Choose by the output, not prompt length.

Place this robot in a sunlit greenhouse, watering a small potted seedling. Keep the same character and watercolor-and-ink illustration style. Full body, three-quarter view. No text or extra characters.
