What It Does
The Character Appearance Tracker analyzes your manuscript to identify all named characters and track when they appear across chapters.
It creates a visual timeline showing character presence by chapter, identifies character roles (protagonist, antagonist, supporting, minor), and flags potential issues like long gaps between appearances or overcrowded chapters.
This helps you maintain consistency, ensure important characters don't disappear for too long, and balance your character distribution across the story.
