Descriptions of characters

I find categories like feel, smell, touch etc to be too limiting, and I really don’t think adding my character’s smell very appropriate. Would like to see more ways we could describe them: look on their face (anger, surprise, fear, boredom, romantic, monotone, laughter), movement of their body, way they use their hands, how they touch their hair, the way they walk, the way they sit, their choice of wardrobe in that instance, the look of their hands, the way they act in that moment, and such to be far more helpful and interesting than their cologne.

    You can instruct in (parentheses), [square brackets] and {curly braces} for Describe, Rewrite, and Expand. You can also prompt for this with Quick Edit so it sees the Story Bible information—like your character descriptions—and doesn’t cost anything with the free version toggled.

    It’s also very handy to have a couple of these as character card traits. For example, I have a “preferred style of clothing” trait and one for how characters interact with different types of people and in different situations; that allows the AI to bring it in when it’s writing prose.
