Map character relationships

Model dramatic relationships without replacing the scenes that demonstrate them.

Relationships describe project-wide connections

The relationship network links existing character identities and helps you inspect alliances, conflicts, obligations, and changes across the project. It is a planning and review surface; the screenplay must still dramatize the relationship through action and dialogue.

Create relationships between canonical characters rather than duplicating a person to represent a new phase. Name the connection in a way that explains pressure, not just category. “Sisters” is factual; “younger sister protecting the secret that could exile Mara” is dramatically useful.

Use the network to find weak structure

Look for central characters with no active pressure, relationships that never reach a scene, and several characters serving the same function. Compare the network with the outline and episode beats. A visually dense network is not automatically a rich story.

Ask AI to analyze before editing

The assistant can read characters and relationships. Ask it to identify contradictions or missing dramatic exchanges before requesting changes. For example:

Read the current character network and episode 1 outline. Which relationship is asserted in data but never tested on screen? Suggest one scene adjustment; do not add a character.

Renaming or deleting a shared character can affect relationships and references across episodes. Make those changes deliberately, preferably after naming a history version.
