Character Profiles

Character profiles let you build a complete picture of every person in your story.

A character profile with personality traits, appearance, and backstory

Click + New Character in the Characters section of the sidebar. You’ll get an expandable profile with sections for every aspect of your character.

  • Name — The character’s name
  • Role — Protagonist, antagonist, supporting, etc.
  • Age — The character’s age
  • Pronouns — He/him, she/her, they/them, or custom
  • Height
  • Eyes — Eye color and description
  • Hair — Hair color, style, length
  • Clothing — Typical outfit or style
  • Traits — Key personality traits
  • Desire — What the character wants most
  • Need — What the character actually needs (often different from desire)
  • Fear — The character’s deepest fear
  • Flaw — Their fatal flaw or weakness
  • Strength — Their greatest strength
  • Values — What they believe in
  • Goals — Short and long-term objectives
  • Relationships — Connections to other characters
  • Images — Upload reference images
  • Mood boards — Collect visual inspiration
  • Note Cards — Freeform notes for anything else

You can create project-level tags with custom colors to categorize your characters (e.g., “House Stark”, “Villain”, “Arc Complete”). Characters can also have custom trait fields beyond the built-in ones.
