New Characters Arrived
We’ve just expanded the StoryTribe character library with child characters and plus-size characters, giving creators more ways to tell inclusive stories.

The stories we tell shape how people see the world
At StoryTribe, we believe stories are more powerful when people can see themselves in them. Whether you’re creating a children’s book, a family-focused storyboard, an educational explainer, or social content, the characters you use matter.
That’s why we’ve added child characters and plus-size characters to StoryTribe this week — to help you tell stories that feel more real, more representative, and more human.
Child characters: built for younger stories
Our new child characters are designed for creators working on:
- Children’s stories and picture books
- Family-focused scenes
- Education and learning content
- Storyboards featuring child characters
Like all StoryTribe characters, they’re fully customisable. You can easily adjust outfits, poses, and facial expressions to match the tone of your story.
Plus-size characters: more inclusive storytelling
We’ve also introduced plus-size characters to support more inclusive and representative storytelling.
These characters are ideal for:
- Everyday, relatable scenes
- Educational and corporate storytelling
- Brand narratives that reflect real audiences
They’re customisable in the same way as the rest of the StoryTribe library, so you can style them consistently across scenes and projects without breaking visual continuity.
Available on Pro Plans
Both child characters and plus-size characters are available on any StoryTribe Pro plans. If you’re on the free plan, you can upgrade anytime to unlock access and start using them in your projects.
How to customise your characters
If you’re new to character editing (or want to get more out of it) we’ve put together a step-by-step guide. Learn how to change outfits, poses, and expressions to bring your characters to life.
