| contents | Visual storytelling with diffusion models has made impressive strides in maintaining character consistency across narrative scenes. However, a critical gap remains: while these methods ensure a character remains consistent across scenes, they provide no systematic method to ensure if fine-grained attributes such as color and textures of clothing, accessories are faithfully rendered in the generated images. Towards this goal, we introduce AttriStory, a benchmark enabling attribute realization in visual storytelling. We curate 200 multi-scene stories across 10 distinct artistic styles using Large Language Model. Each scene is constructed with detailed attribute specifications to enable rich visual narratives. Further, to address attribute realization, we propose a plug-and-play latent optimization module that operates during early denoising steps, when the model establishes structural and semantic content. We achieve this through AttriLoss objective designed to maximize alignment between the cross-attention maps for desired attribute-object pairs while suppressing spurious associations, guiding models to localize attributes correctly. This approach operates orthogonally to existing consistency mechanisms, integrating seamlessly with current story generation pipelines without requiring architectural modifications. Our experiments demonstrate consistent improvements on incorporating AttriLoss across all baselines. This work positions attribute realization as a distinct, complementary dimension of visual storytelling, alongside character consistency, advancing the field toward fine-grained attribute-controlled story generation.
