With Novela’s Characters feature, you can manage your entire cast at a glance and keep every detail organized.

Creating a New Character

To add a character to your story:

• Click the 'New Character' button located at the top right or at the bottom of the list.

• A new page will be generated instantly for you to start building your character.

Character Profile: The Basics

Click on a character's name to open their profile page.
Here, you can lay the foundation:

• Core Info: Input the character's name and a brief description.

• Visuals & Tags: Upload a character image and use Color Tags to categorize them (e.g., Protagonist, Supporting, Faction A).

Character Profile: Deep Dive

Go beyond the basics by adding detailed layers to each character. You can document their personality, backstory (pre-story), physical appearance, and relationships.

Use the three block types to expand your character’s profile freely:

• Text: Perfect for free-writing, dialogue snippets, or sample scenes.

• Table: Best for organizing key traits, motives, or specific world-building details in a structured list.

• Image: Store reference photos, concept art, or mood board images.

Transform the characters in your head into structured, actionable data with Novela. Watch your cast come to life as you build a more cohesive and vivid story.
