Add:
1. Your character's favorite food, color, choice of music.
2. How does your character dress? Add the details: current style, flamboyant, sloppy
3. Reveal your character's temperament in dialogue: easy going, flashy, pouty, withdrawn, quick to anger. Add the opposite trait in some way.
Creative Write: Develop a scene after adding dimensions to your character.
Define a conflict situation and your character's reaction to it.
Your character has a series of mishaps: stepping in chewing gum, spilling coffee on new suit, car battery dead, misplacing keys. How do the small inconveniences in life affect your character?
Your character has to make a life changing decision in a time of frustration.
