A character sheet records who Mara is and what she wants. A story bible also records locations, objects and world rules. A relationship records a connection: Mara owes the lighthouse keeper a favor, but suspects him of hiding the letter. After Chapter 3, update the connection to uneasy cooperation and link the change to the chapter.

A chapter plan guides a draft; it does not guarantee continuity. Check the viewpoint, chronology, character knowledge and final change yourself. Keep rejected ideas outside confirmed story facts.

A graph shows the relationships you record. It does not automatically establish every connection in the manuscript. Update motives and links after plot changes, and verify any AI suggestion against the chapter.
