The Character Reference Tool Midjourney's `--cref` (Character Reference) is a game-changer. By attaching a clean reference sheet of your character, the AI will lock in their facial features and clothing.

Creating a Character Sheet Start by generating a base character from multiple angles (front, side, back) on a plain white background. Use this image as your anchor.

The Name Trick Assigning your character a highly specific, unique name or celebrity fusion (e.g., "a mix of Scarlett Johansson and Emma Stone") helps the AI remember the face across prompts.

Fixing Inconsistencies Even with the best prompts, AI isn't perfect. Use Inpainting (Vary Region) to manually fix clothing details or eye colors that drift between panels.
