# 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](references/series.md).
## 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.
