20 AI Character Prompt Examples (Ready to Use)

A good character starts with a good description. You don't need a long technical paragraph: one well-built sentence is enough, as long as it has the right ingredients.

The structure of a good description

An effective description combines four elements:

1. Who: gender, approximate age (adult), background.
2. A striking physical trait: hair, eyes, a distinctive mark.
3. An activity: job, passion, sport.
4. A place or a vibe: city, region, lifestyle.

Compare:

• "A dark-haired woman" → generic, and the result will be too.
• "A 32-year-old dark-haired architect in Milan, minimalist style, round glasses" → a character.

Pitfalls to avoid

• Celebrity names ("who looks like…"): refused, and that's a good thing. Describe the traits you like instead.
• Too many contradictions: "short hair and a long braid" makes an incoherent character.
• A list of adjectives with no context: a job or a place gives far more to work with.
• Forgetting the age: state it — it shapes the style and the tone (always adult).
