A character is built from these fields:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | What the character is called |
| Title | A short line shown on the character card |
| Greeting | The character's opening message — technically its first reply, so it sets the pattern for everything after |
| Personality | The definition: who they are, how they behave, their background |
| Avatar | The character's image |
| Tags | How people find your character |
| Visibility | Private or public |
| Advanced Settings | Example dialogues, scenario, voice, and more |

Two things that make a real difference
Keep the definition concise. Around 800–1,100 tokens is a good target. Token usage is shown under each text box. This isn't an arbitrary rule — every token in the definition is a token unavailable for the actual conversation, so a bloated definition means a character that forgets things sooner. See article 4.2.
Write the greeting from the character's perspective. If your greeting has the user doing things, the AI will keep writing for the user throughout. See article 4.5.
For deep background, use a Lorebook rather than padding the definition — see article 6.9.
