Start with one hero
One hero keeps a first story simple. Use a preset name or type your child's own — the character stays a friendly animated figure either way, so no photo is ever needed.
Adding a second or third hero
Up to two supporting heroes can join with a relationship — sibling, friend, cousin, or other. In Advanced options you can choose whether heroes share the story equally or one hero leads.
Saving heroes for next time
Saving is always an explicit checkbox, never automatic. Saved heroes make quick-create and series episodes faster, and you can remove them anytime without affecting stories you already approved.
