When a particular character isn't coming to life, I... write out what s/he would say for themselves in an interview.
'Why I did this...'
'why I'm ging to do that...'
'Why I'm right...'
...The reasons and excuses aren't so important, but the perspective is... an assertion of {the character's} own perspective...
self-justifications... don't get into my novels. They do influence... the scene where a character is confronted by the truth about themselves.
