Quoted By:

Write a sympathetic character who believes they have good intentions, and have them suffer.

If they have a personal goal that underlies that arc, either have them achieve it only to kneecap them soon after with a personal tragedy, or fail to achieve the goal entirely due to reasons outside of their control

>look back at popular characters throughout history
>narrow it down to characters that loosely fit the direction you want your character to go
>take notes
The trick is making it so it doesn't feel like a copy of those characters.

Be a good person. Write what you know.

Write a character who has more than 1 reason to do X thing, just like real life people. There, it's that easy, the key to character depth.
Well I guess they also need to have a fun personality. This is harder since it's more subjective. I guess I'll just make them spout memes.

A good character doesn't have to be a good person
