I’ve been diving deep into character development lately, and I find that giving them distinct flaws makes them feel more real. For instance, I introduced a secondary character with a fear of heights and how it affects their decision-making. How do you incorporate imperfections into your characters to enhance their stories?
I resonate with your point about flaws making characters feel real — it’s relatable. I’ve found that giving a character a quirk, like being overly meticulous about organization, can lead to interesting conflicts and growth. It not only showcases their imperfection but pushes the story forward.
I totally get that! I think making a character’s fear drive their choices can really deepen their arc… For example, I had a character who avoided social situations due to anxiety, which not only added tension but also allowed for significant growth.
