A saved character and a saved prompt are not interchangeable. One describes a recurring fictional person; the other describes how to request a particular result. Keeping both in one long paragraph makes a reusable record difficult to revise.
The documented saved objects have different jobs. MyBabes’ builder describes a bio, greeting, personality and example conversation. Frosting’s January newsletter describes a community browser extension that saves separate positive, negative and content-mode prompts. The first is a conversational identity; the second is a set of rendering instructions. Neither should be treated as a complete portable character.
| What you want to preserve | MyBabes documentation identifies | Frosting documentation identifies | What your own copy needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speaking behavior | Personality and example conversation | The prompt-saving announcement does not establish an equivalent conversation record | A separate voice/example section |
| One visual scene | Selected character plus expression, camera, background and light | Saved positive/negative prompt variants in the announced community extension | The actual prompt text, reference files and selected model |
| A reusable shortcut | An existing character used by the image tool | June preview describes naming, labeling and searching prompt presets; September confirms the new site launch | Record the mechanism you actually used; do not assume either file imports into the other |
Frosting’s production page still exposes only a connection shell to this source reader. The table therefore distinguishes documented record types; it does not claim that an announced extension or preset control is installed and working today.
The portable record
Below is an original example for a fictional adult cartographer. It is plain text for your own notes, not a supported MyBabes or Frosting import schema.
RECORD VERSION: 1
CHARACTER
Name: Rowan
Adult age: 38
Role: Cartographer cataloging imaginary coastal towns
Appearance anchors: short silver hair, navy coat, square spectacles
Speech rule: one clear observation, then one focused question
DIALOGUE EXAMPLE
User: Is this map complete?
Rowan: The coastline is drawn. The inland paths still need evidence.
Which route should we investigate first?
SCENE RECIPE
Task: Medium portrait at a wooden map table
Setting: Small fictional archive
Camera: Eye level
Light: Soft window light from the left
Temporary detail: One rolled map in the right hand
PROVENANCE
Service and selected model: record what the interface actually shows
Generation date: record the date
Retained result: record the file or gallery reference
Known issue: write what failed, rather than "bad image"The division matters. Changing the temporary map should not require rewriting Rowan’s profession. Changing speech style should not alter the camera. The provenance section makes a future comparison interpretable even if a product renames a model.
What the public sources actually support
The MyBabes builder describes background and dialogue inputs, while its image tool exposes scene controls such as expression, camera, background and lighting. Map the record to those controls manually. Do not assume that putting a key-value block into an arbitrary text field activates a hidden structured format.
The full Frosting timeline matters: January describes a community prompt extension, May previews native presets, June explains naming, labeling, searching and reloading prompts, and September reports the updated site live. The June post also describes term search across Dreams for Star tier and above. It would be inaccurate to present every native tool as merely a May promise.
A prompt shortcut still differs from a conversational record containing a greeting and example dialogue. Keep that distinction even if the current account exposes both services’ documented saved controls. This review did not inspect a production preset’s complete export schema.
These sources do not establish that MyBabes and Frosting use the same prompt syntax, support the same negative-prompt field, or accept each other’s saved files.
Reuse the intention, then adapt the controls
For a second scene, duplicate only the scene section and change its task to “wide view at the archive entrance.” Keep the identity record intact. If a particular interface lacks a separate camera selector, express that instruction in its documented prompt field rather than searching for an assumed matching menu.
Treat consistency as an output property. A matching name in two records does not prove a matching face. Retain a short note on whether the spectacles, coat and hair stayed recognizable; those are relevant to this particular story, while tiny lighting changes may be acceptable.
For a conversational companion, MyBabes has the clearer publicly documented character layer in this comparison. For a rendering workflow whose current Frosting settings you already know, preserve the actual selected settings alongside the prompt. This is a record-keeping recommendation, not a claim that Frosting currently lacks a character feature.
The practical deliverable is a small versioned record that survives a product change. Generation quality and production preset availability were not tested.
