Definition — A reference document that fixes everything about a persona beyond the trained face: style rules, wardrobe boundaries, voice and tone, backstory, and explicit do's and don'ts. Teams use it to keep the persona consistent across people and campaigns.
A trained model locks the persona's face; the character sheet locks everything else. A useful one specifies identity basics (name, age bracket, backstory in a paragraph), visual rules (wardrobe style and no-gos, recurring settings, color notes), voice (tone, vocabulary, caption style) and hard boundaries (topics and product categories the persona never touches).
The document exists for the same reason brand guidelines do: consistency across hands. The moment more than one person prompts, captions or schedules for a persona, unwritten rules diverge — one operator's 'casual streetwear' is another's 'athleisure', and the account's identity blurs within weeks. A sheet turns persona identity from tribal knowledge into a checkable reference; the consistency guide shows how it anchors an account over time.
On InfluencerForge.app the sheet has natural counterparts in the tooling: the reference set embodies its visual identity section, a rotation of Forge Styles implements its look rules, and prompts get written inside its boundaries. Write the sheet before training — deciding who the persona is first makes every later asset decision faster.
The curated collection of photos (typically 8–20) used to train a persona. Reference quality and variety — angles, lighting, expressions — directly determine how consistent and robust the trained identity is.
The one-time process of teaching an image-generation model a specific persona's identity from a set of reference photos. After training, the persona can be generated in unlimited new scenes without re-describing its appearance in each prompt.
The gradual or sudden change of a generated character's face, build or style between images. Drift is the main failure mode of prompt-only character workflows and the problem trained, identity-locked models exist to solve.
