Define identity with specific anchors
Generic descriptors like age and outfit category are not enough to stabilize identity over multiple generations.
Use persistent facial and body anchors such as face shape, eye spacing, nose profile, posture, and overall temperament.
Limit abrupt lens and distance jumps
Large jumps from close-up to long shot often trigger reinterpretation and drift.
Generate adjacent shot distances first, then expand. Progressive transitions preserve identity better.
Fix one axis at a time
When consistency breaks, avoid changing references, prompt structure, wardrobe, and composition at once.
Stabilize who the character is first, then restore where they are and what they are doing.
