Unlike a fixed template, a useful character is built from specific choices. There is no single best formula: see how appearance, personality, memory, relationship and voice work together, then change the parts that pull in another direction.

Nastia voice brief
Write how the character should sound: age impression, warmth, rhythm, texture and delivery. A good brief gives the speech model a target without pretending that every note will be reproduced in exactly the same way.
Nastia personality map
Six visible axes cover Passion, Wit, Warmth, Boldness, Loyalty and Charm. Adjusting those values, the romance setting and relationship type makes an abstract personality easier to review before a long conversation begins.
Nastia memory layer
Long-term memory is designed to retrieve relevant history across sessions. It does not guarantee full recall of every message. You can still correct the character, reset direction or begin again if the stored context no longer matches your needs.

Nastia visual profile
Choose a look, crop an avatar and use face or body references during generation. A created portrait can supply a face reference from the gallery, which helps when the same character appears in a new outfit, location or image style.
Nastia message controls
Edit, reroll, elaborate or delete a response when it sends the conversation the wrong way. Compact, Cozy and Comfortable density options change how messages appear, while background fit and rotation settings alter the room around them.

Nastia optional check-ins
A companion may reach out after you step away from a conversation. Check-ins can be turned off, so proactive messages remain an option rather than a requirement. You choose whether the character waits or follows up.

Nastia visual understanding
Send an image with a caption and a companion can respond to what it sees in character. Vision was integrated more deeply into chat in May 2026, supporting contextual responses, related image ideas and a smoother path from a picture to a video concept.
Nastia backstory notes
A backstory records who the companion is, who you are to each other and what has already happened. Use concrete details that affect behavior instead of filling every available line. A shorter note can be more useful than a full biography when the role is simple.
