Introduction: Why Character Consistency Matters

Creating the same character across multiple images is one of the biggest challenges Midjourney users face — especially in V6. Whether you’re building a comic series, crafting a brand mascot, or telling a visual story, inconsistent facial features, clothing, or style can break the illusion and disconnect your audience.

But here’s the good news: with a few smart techniques, you can make Midjourney V6 behave more predictably. In this guide, you’ll discover how to write smarter prompts, use seed values, and apply visual tricks that help you create cohesive, consistent characters — image after image.

1. Understand the Problem: Why Midjourney Doesn’t “Remember”

Midjourney doesn’t have memory or identity tracking. Each prompt is interpreted independently, which means the AI has no idea what your last image looked like. That’s why the same description can give you different results every time.

✅ Solution: Use techniques like descriptive prompts, reference images, and seed values to control the outcome.

2. Use Detailed Descriptions for the Character

Be consistent and specific with your character’s core features:

Character Element	Example Description
Gender & Age	“young adult woman”
Hairstyle	“short silver hair, side-swept bangs”
Outfit	“futuristic armor with glowing blue trim”
Face Features	“freckles, sharp cheekbones, green eyes”
Mood/Style	“serious expression, cinematic lighting”

📌 Pro Tip: Copy your prompt structure exactly each time, only changing background or pose.

3. Lock Visuals Using `--seed`

Adding a seed value fixes the randomization:

txtCopyEdita female hacker with short white hair, neon background --v 6 --seed 12345

Use the same seed and prompt, and Midjourney will generate very similar images — perfect for building consistency.

4. Use Character Tokens (Nicknames)

Some users assign a character “nickname” in the prompt:

txtCopyEdit"character: Kaela — a cyberpunk engineer with goggles, short blue hair"

Using the same label like “Kaela” every time (with the same traits) influences consistency, even if Midjourney doesn’t “understand” who Kaela is.

5. Add a Reference Image (if Available)

Midjourney now allows image + text prompts. You can drag & drop a previous render and prompt something like:

“Same woman in a different outfit, standing in a rainy city — cyberpunk style”

This guides Midjourney to reuse features from the image without needing perfect wording.

6. Create a Prompt Template

Copy and reuse a “prompt shell” like this:

txtCopyEdita serious female knight with braided red hair, scar over left eye, silver armor — dynamic pose, fantasy style --v 6 --style raw

Change only:

Action: sitting, walking, fighting
Setting: desert, castle, forest
Lighting: sunset, moody, cinematic

For example, if you’re building a game or comic series, generating consistent characters with the same outfit, hairstyle, and expressions will drastically improve continuity and reader connection.

Final Thoughts

Creating character consistency in Midjourney isn’t about magic — it’s about repetition, clarity, and controlled variables. With detailed descriptions, seed values, and careful prompting, you can build a visual character that feels unified across dozens of images.
