Characters & Relationships
Each character has their own page for everything about them, plus relationships to other characters and a two-track arc tracker.

What you can add#
Name, nickname, description, a free-text character arc summary, and whatever other fields the character page offers. Relationships to other characters carry a label ("loves", "sibling of") and a Canon or Draft status.
Arc tracker#
Two tracks — Planned and Observed — each a list of short states ("Naive", "Determined") optionally tied to a chapter. Planned is where you intend the character to go; Observed is what the manuscript actually shows. Story Insights can point out a gap between the two, but never decides the arc for you.
Relationship graph#
Once a book has two or more characters, "View relationship graph" shows every logged relationship as a visual diagram — canon relationships solid, draft ones dashed.
