Relationship Mapping
Your characters do not exist in isolation -- and now you can see exactly how they connect. An interactive force-directed graph maps every relationship discovered across your manuscript: allies, rivals, mentors, love interests, and everyone in between. Sentiment-colored edges show the emotional tone of each connection, and hovering on any node highlights its entire web of relationships so you can trace influence and conflict at a glance. If a character feels disconnected from the story, you will see it here first.
Entity Pulse
Track every character, location, and named entity across your entire manuscript in a color-coded heatmap that reveals distribution patterns at a glance. See exactly which scenes mention which characters, spot unintentional disappearances mid-arc, and identify scenes overloaded with too many players. Filter by entity type to focus on what matters -- whether that is ensuring your protagonist appears consistently or verifying that a key location is properly established before the climax.
