Keep a character recognizable from panel to panel

Readers forgive a wobbly background. They do not forgive a lead who changes hair, age, or jacket between panels. Image models drift, especially in a group scene. The fix is boring and reliable: write the identifiers every time, and review every shot.

Write four identifiers and stop

Pick facts a reader can see at thumbnail size. Four is enough. More than that and the model starts dropping some of them.

• Hair: length, color, and one shape, such as a short black bob.
• Clothes: one garment with a color, such as a teal jacket.
• One prop that travels with them, such as a red shoulder bag.
• Age or role in plain words, such as an adult courier. Avoid “beautiful” and “cool”.

Repeat the sentence, do not vary it

The same adult courier — short black bob, teal jacket, orange scarf, red shoulder bag — stands on the left.

Use that clause in every shot of the chapter. If you paraphrase it, you are describing a new person. When two characters share a frame, give each their own clause and say who is on the left.

A four-point check before you keep the image

1. Hair, clothes, and the prop are all still there.
2. The number of people matches the shot.
3. Left and right match the prompt.
4. No extra sign, logo, or second face sneaked in.

If one item failed, change that instruction and regenerate the shot. Story Mode keeps image history, so the previous try stays available.
