Go to the character select on home screen, and on the far right there should be an option for new character. Just know that save data is linked to characters.

Not just saved data, but all your islands, all your progress, all linked to the character, not to the map you are playing on. Creating a new character usually means you plan to start all over with a new fresh world. Technically, I think you can play an existing one, but I think you will have a real problem with progression on a map played with a different character prior to the new character.

When you start again, you also need to create a new character and have that selected. Just starting a new world does not start your character over. You need a new character too.

It is a bit confusing but the reason I think it is designed this way is so you can take your character to a friends (multiplayer) world and you will bring your home island with you that way.
