Major Characters
Major characters are the principal cast whose arcs span the series. Defining them thoroughly before writing episodes ensures consistent dialogue voice, believable motivation, and meaningful character growth.
Story Role: What function does this character serve in the narrative? Protagonist, antagonist, mentor, comic relief?
Backstory / Origin: What happened to them before the story begins, and how does it shape who they are now?
Wants (External Goals): What do they consciously want to achieve?
Needs (Internal Growth): What do they actually need, even if they don't know it?
Fears / Vulnerabilities: What holds them back or drives their worst choices?
Quirks & Mannerisms: Speech patterns, habits, and physical tells that make them distinct.
Character Arc: How do they change — or fail to change — over the series?
