Why your child is a companion, never the deity

What respectful personalisation changes, what stays with the source story and why the adult edition keeps its own cast.

In a Suno Katha personalised story, the child can stand beside the hero as a friend, helper or observer. The child never becomes Ganesha, Krishna or another deity. This is the house's own approach to personalisation, chosen to preserve the identity of the story while offering a child a place close to it.

What the child can change

A family can choose the companion, the age treatment and the art style within the available options. The child's name is placed on the device. A companion's permitted choices stay inside the authored story arc; they do not add an episode to scripture. A role called lead still walks beside the hero, not in the deity's place.

What belongs to the story

The deity's identity, the source episode and the distinction between traditions remain intact. Art style changes the picture treatment rather than the plot. A younger reader does not make an adult deity a baby: the deity's age follows the authored episode. These boundaries also apply to free-form requests at the desk.

When a requested draft does not fit

The desk begins with pre-authored arcs. An optional model may adapt within those boundaries and its draft is checked. If that draft fails, the house uses its pre-authored telling. This is a bounded adaptation process, not an invitation for a model to invent a scripture passage. Machine checks are not the same as independent scholarly review.

Why adult reading is different

The 18+ edition tells the story with its own characters. It has no Add Me avatar or likeness-photo personalisation. Families choosing for several ages should preview the intended edition rather than treating personalisation as a requirement for enjoying the story.
