Character Stories will be made available to you starting from Chapter 5. It's a feature that lets you recruit characters and learn more about those who have already joined you. Simply press the + button when on the world map to view Character Stories.

Every now and then, a character will be made available for recruitment through Character Stories. You'll know a character story is available when you see its icon on the lower right area of the screen. Recruitable characters will automatically join your party after a brief cutscene.
