# 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).

For an original recurring character without an accepted design, read [character design](references/design.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.

For a named saved character, call `list_saved_items` (or authenticated `GET /v1/saved-items` through the existing API) with `type: character`. Match the name and paginate with `next_cursor` as needed; disambiguate multiple matches. Inspect its primary `IMAGE` asset and any additional views the shot requires. Reuse their durable `file_path` values in compatible image fields, not the item ID or temporary preview URL. Keep an explicitly supplied anchor authoritative. Check the library before deciding no reference exists.
