Characters in Your Project: Add, Remove, and Panel Generation
What linking characters to a project does: add from your library, remove from the project, and how that affects your story vs AI panel generation in MangaOra.
Project characters vs your library
Your Characters section is your library: every character you create lives there. When you create a project from a story, the AI may suggest characters from the story breakdown, and those get linked to the project. You can also add characters yourself: in the editor's Characters tab, use "Add from My Characters" to pick someone from your library. That does two things—it adds their reference to the current panel form, and if the project has a linked story, it links that character to the project's story so they appear in the project character list and in every panel you generate.
What "add to project" does
Adding a character to the project (when you have a story linked) links them to this project's story in the background. The character stays in your library; the link just says "this character is part of this project's cast." From then on, that character's name, description, and reference images are included when the AI generates panels for this project, so you get consistent looks and the right cast in every scene.
What "remove from project" does
In the Characters tab, next to each project character you'll see an option to remove them from the project. That unlinks the character from this project's story—they stay in your library and in any other project where you added them, but they're no longer part of this project's cast. The AI will stop using them when generating new panels here. Already-generated panels are not changed; only future panel generation is affected.
Effect on your story
Adding or removing characters from the project does not edit your story text, chapter breakdown, or page plan. The story and its outline stay exactly as they are. Only the list of "who is in this project for the AI" changes—who gets their name, description, and references sent to the panel generator.
Effect on panel generation
When you generate a panel, MangaOra uses the project character list to build context for the AI: names, descriptions, and reference images. Adding a character puts them in that list so the AI can keep them consistent. Removing a character takes them out of that list, so they won't be included in the context for new panels. Use add when you want someone in the cast; use remove when you don't want them influencing this project's art anymore.
