ONE EASY WAY TO MAKE UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS

Anne Greene here: 

What will your characters fight to the core for? 

What does your heroine fight for? What does she stand for?

What will she not give up, no matter what happens? 

         Is she showing this?

         What is her motivation for the above? Have you told the reader?

 

 

 

 

What does your hero fight for? What does he stand for?

What will he never give up, no matter what happens?

         Is he showing this?

         What is his motivation for the above? Have you told the reader?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the villain should be real as well. He should believable. He should have a good side.  

What does the Villain fight for? What does he stand for? Why does he not think he is evil?

What will he never give up, no matter what happens?

          Is the villain showing this?

          What is his motivation for the above? Have you told the reader?

Each character must change over the course of the story. They need to discover something about themselves.  

Do all of the above and readers will not be able to forget your real-life-like characters.
