Complete classwork: Building Character  (ON LOOSE LEAF, PLEASE)

Think of your characters as real people. Make them believable. Create character profiles that bring the characters to life.    

Name

Age

Appearance (physical description)

Relationships (family, friends, etc.)

and the juicy stuff….

• The Fear (what are they scared of?)
• The Secret (what are they hiding?)
• The Flaw (what makes them “human” - what they may consider wrong with themselves, or why others may judge them)
• The Quirk (what makes them unique?)
