## 🎨 Midjourney Consistency Techniques

### Using --cref (Character Reference)
```
[your prompt] --cref [URL of first generated image] --cw 100
```
- Maintains facial features across generations
- `--cw 100` = maximum character consistency

### Using --sref (Style Reference)
```
[your prompt] --sref [URL of style example] --sw 100
```
- Keeps art style consistent
- Good for maintaining lighting, rendering, aesthetic

### Prompt Formula for Consistency
```
[Action/Pose description], Nova, 17-year-old hacker girl, platinum silver bob hair with blue tips, gray eyes with cyan cyber-implants, purple bomber jacket, black cargo pants, [specific details], [environment], semi-realistic anime style, cyberpunk aesthetic, [lighting], [mood] --ar [ratio] --s 400 --q 2 --cref [character ref URL] --cw 100

## 📚 Character Development Notes

**Backstory Hints in Design**:
- Scar on eyebrow: Early life accident, before tech access
- Worn jacket: Inherited from mentor, sentimental value
- DIY augmentations: Couldn't afford corpo clinics, learned to self-modify
- Braided bracelets: Each represents a friend from hacker collective

**Character Arc Potential**:
- **Early Game**: Less confident, tech occasionally glitches, darker colors
- **Mid Game**: Growing confidence, tech stable, current design
- **Late Game**: Mastery, upgraded augmentations, brighter glows, cleaner outfit

**Relationships Reflected**:
- Messenger bag from best friend (gift)
- Neural jack installed by underground doc (slight scar tissue)
- Hair dye job done by herself (imperfect but intentional)

## 💡 Final Design Philosophy

**Core Concept**: "Lived-in cyberpunk" - not pristine corpo aesthetic, but genuine street tech.

**Design Pillars**:
1. **Functional**: Everything has a purpose (pockets, tools, practical clothing)
2. **Personal**: Custom modifications, DIY spirit, not off-the-shelf
3. **Rebellious**: Stands out but not trying too hard, natural cool factor
4. **Young**: Teen energy, slightly messy, imperfect but confident
5. **Skilled**: Tech integration shows competence, not beginner experimenting

**Avoid**:
- ❌ Over-sexualized (she's 17, keep it appropriate)
- ❌ Too polished (she's underground, not corporate)
- ❌ Generic anime tropes (make her unique)
- ❌ Too many accessories (keep it functional)
- ❌ Perfect symmetry (asymmetry adds character)
