+The current humanoid cast uses the [modular woodland character kit](../assets/characters/README.md):
+31 Blender parts, five animal heads, six authored examples and independently
+configurable proportions, outfits and accessories. `CharacterAppearanceProfile`
+resources are cosmetic. Meshes are shared; `Stout` morph weights and palette
+materials are per actor. The reference traveler has 20,070 base triangles across
+10 opaque surfaces; Godot imports LODs. The standalone
+`tools/CharacterWorkshop.tscn` previews and saves profiles. Existing motion,
+profession/inventory/death cues, and shader grass interaction remain owned by
+their existing controllers. The appearance scenario verifies imported parts,
+independent shape weights, stable identity, extreme proportions and cue clearance.
