Character reference (--cref) plus a pinned --seed
Pass an approved frame as --cref and dial --cw to control how much of it carries over: 100 keeps face, hair and clothing, 0 keeps the face only. Pin --seed so re-runs of the same prompt land in the same place.
What it is good at
Where it stops
No LoRA training, so the trained route is closed here — your ceiling is the reference route. Output lives in their gallery unless you are on a plan that changes that.
Routes it can take you on
The syntax
This is Maya Rao from the cast, rendered into Midjourney's own syntax. Square brackets are the things only you have.
Photograph of a woman, late twenties, South Asian features, an oval face, dark brown almond eyes, thick straight brows, a straight nose, full lips, a single dark mole high on the right cheekbone, mid-back length wavy jet black hair with a centre part, golden skin, natural texture and visible pores, average height with an average build. Wearing plain unbranded basics, a warm neutral palette of sand, bone and camel, in a small modern city apartment, soft daylight from a large window, camera at eye level. Medium portrait, three-quarter angle, looking into the lens. Neutral expression, hands relaxed and out of frame --ar 4:5 --style raw --seed 1753468036 --cref [url of your approved reference frame] --cw 100
Build your own in the studio and this same block comes back filled with your persona instead — same structure, your locked line, your seed.
