The Character Definition Prompt

Build a reusable character description.

Character: [DESCRIBE IN PLAIN LANGUAGE]
Role in the piece: [DESCRIBE]
Number of shots they appear in: [NUMBER]

Produce a fixed character block covering:
1. Age range and build
2. Face: distinctive, describable features — the two or three that
   define recognition
3. Hair: length, colour, style, how it moves
4. Wardrobe: specific garments, colours, materials, fit
5. Anything distinctive: accessories, marks, posture
6. What must stay constant versus what can vary

Requirements:
- Under 50 words in the final block
- Every element must be visually specific — "kind eyes" is not
  usable, "heavy dark eyebrows, deep-set eyes" is
- Prioritise: which two features carry recognition if everything
  else drifts?
- Do not describe anyone real, and do not describe anyone in a way
  that would identify a real person

Then, honestly:
7. How consistent can I realistically expect this to be across
   separate generations on my platform?
8. What to do about the shots where it drifts
