: If your series is designed so that a new reader could pick up any book, introduce each character as if you were writing the first book in the series. This does not mean using the same

If your series is designed so that a new reader could pick up any book, introduce each character as if you were writing the first book in the series.

This does not mean using the same description as in earlier books. Your viewpoint characters have evolved, so their opinions of themselves and each other will have changed. What they notice will have changed. What they care about will have changed. Their history and relationships will have evolved.

So whenever a character who has not yet appeared in this book enters the scene, describe them through the viewpoint character's current perspective. Because the viewpoint character has changed, the description will change.

This does not mean writing boring description. Leave "painful detail" out of later books, just as you would leave it out of earlier books. Make the descriptions of each character interesting, just as you would in earlier books.
