About this guide
What is inside
A list of traits does not create a living character. This guide begins with desire and pressure, then adds contradiction, fear, secrets, voice and relationships.
Practical prompts help use backstory only where it changes the present, while scene exercises reveal character through decisions rather than explanation. The final profile is a working story tool, not a questionnaire that must appear on the page.
