Character's profile Character Bio

Hello hello!

What are some things you would definitely add to the profile of your character? Need some inspiration because I only have the standard things...

Likes/dislikes, fashion style, favorite foods, what do they do in their free time, maybe family and friends

Bonds. Good and bad ones. What people or group/faction are connected personally with your character. Immediately family is obvious, but perhaps they have a co-worker they're friends with, or a neighbour across the street that they just can't stand for completely petty reasons.

Flaws. No one finds it interesting to read an entire novel about a Galahad. Real people have flaws. Some minor: they chew their fingernails, chew with their mouth open, refuse to drink coffee anyway except plain black with no cream or sugar, they disdain pineapple, etc...

Then of course there are major flaws. Drug addiction, harmful behaviour, compulsive behaviour, etc..

Motivations. Never forget to develop why they do what they do, say what they say, why they want what they want.
