Family and friends
Create a character from a photo or description when you have the permission needed to use that person's information or image.
Character creator for stories
Create story characters from the world around them.
Turn family, friends, pets and imagined characters into a reusable Niblet cast. Create a character once, then invite them into completely different stories again and again.
Build a familiar cast
The people and characters they know can become part of the story.
Pets and animals
The family dog can become a moon captain. A rabbit can lead a treasure hunt. Familiar animals can join the cast too.
Completely imagined characters
Dragons, robots, explorers and other invented characters can be described and saved for future stories.
Why reusable characters matter
A favourite character does not have to disappear when one story ends.
Children often return to the same people, pets and imaginary friends in their play. Niblet's character library is designed around that same idea: save a cast member once, then choose them again when a new adventure begins.
1
Start with a photo
Use an image as the starting point when appropriate and permitted.
2
Or describe them
Create an imagined character without needing a real-world photo.
3
Save the character
Keep the character in your Niblet cast rather than starting again each time.
4
Choose them again
Bring familiar cast members into the next story when the idea calls for them.
From everyday life to story world
The ordinary can become extraordinary.
A pet, grandparent, sibling or imaginary dragon can become part of a new adventure without losing the connection to the child's own world and imagination.
Familiar people and pets
Completely invented characters
Reusable across different stories
Character questions
What to know before building the cast.
Can I create a character without a photo?
Yes. Niblet supports character creation from a written description as well as from a photo.
Can a pet be a story character?
Yes. Pets and other animal characters can be part of the saved cast and selected for stories.
Can I use the same character in more than one story?
Yes. Reuse is the purpose of the character library: a favourite cast member can return for new adventures.
What about photos of children or other people?
The adult account holder is responsible for having the authority and permission needed for any personal information or photograph they choose to upload.
Give the cast something to do
Every character needs their next adventure.
Create the cast
Who would your child put in their next story?
Start with someone familiar, invent someone new, or bring both into the same adventure.
