Yesterday, I shared about how important drive and motivation is for Character Development. Today the important thing to focus on is your character’s relationships. How does your character interact with people pets or aliens? Are they shy aggressive nonchalant? Are their reactions consistent and how does their character arch impact their relationships throughout the story?
Stumped on these questions? My favorite trick to inspire my character’s actions and reactions is to put my character into different situations. If that doesn’t work, I go people watching.
Let your character be who they are. Even if that means you’re character will act outside of themselves in high pressure situations. Everyone reacts differently to the challenges they face.
How would your character react if someone straight up ate their plate of food that they worked really hard to make for themselves.
