Skill by Mage · Consistent Characters

The same character in every scene

Save a person or mascot once from a single portrait, optionally with a voice, and mention their @handle in any prompt. Mango 4 keeps the face; Cherry 2 Pro gives them their voice in video.

Claude

A studio portrait of a woman with short curly black hair in a mustard sweater

Save this portrait as a character named Nova and give her a warm, friendly voice. Then show her reading in a corner cafe, hiking a misty ridge in a red rain jacket, and laughing at a night market.

@nova was taken, so I’ll save her as @nova-rae. Her 10-second voice sample on Seed Audio is 38 Gems, and the three scenes on Mango 3 are 405 Gems. Go ahead?

Go ahead.

One portrait, one voice, any scene

Every scene came from a prompt that only said @nova-rae. Nobody described her face.

How it works

How to use the Consistent Characters skill

  1. Share one portrait

    A clear, well-lit photo of one face, head and shoulders. No photo? The skill generates one with Guava 2 Pro and shows it to you first.

  2. Save the character

    It saves the portrait, and a voice clip if you want one, under an @handle. Saving is free.

  3. Use the @handle anywhere

    Mention it in any image or video prompt. Outfits, places, poses, and objects can be saved the same way.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many photos do I need?
One. A character is a single clear portrait, not a trained model, so it’s ready the moment it’s saved.
Can my character speak in videos?
Yes. Save a voice clip of up to 10 seconds with the character (or generate one with Seed Audio), and Cherry 2 Pro and Lemon use that voice when you mention them.
Can I use someone else’s face?
Only with their consent. Mage characters are private to your account, and the skill won’t build a character to impersonate someone.
Can I attach my photo to the chat?
Mage can’t read files attached to a chat, so share a direct link to the image instead, such as your store’s product image URL. Agents that run commands, like Claude Code and Cursor, can upload a file from your computer.
How much does it cost?
The skill is free and open source. Each generation it starts is paid in Gems from your Mage account at the model’s listed price, and your assistant quotes the total before it creates anything.
