What makes Joseph

The locked visual details the illustrator matches on every page. Edits save here (the source of truth) and flow to every book Joseph appears in.

The canonical likeness

The locked turnaround + reference the AI illustrator draws from on every page, in every book. Built from the traits — add a real photo above to anchor it to the actual person.

No likeness yet. Build it now so every illustration of Joseph starts from the same canonical reference.
Reference description (sent with every page)

Coey's grandfather, known by the nickname Jody, remembered for always wearing denim bib overalls — even with a tie in family photographs — and receiving a fresh pair every Christmas from Hattie and Julius.

Life stages

The same Joseph at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.

Build Joseph's canonical likeness first (below) — the stages age from it. You can still pin a real photo to any stage now.
