Tip #31: Introducing your characters

Show them in the act of attempting to achieve a goal, prevent something bad from happening, et cetera... I don’t really care what it is, just show them trying.
The conflict itself forces characters to respond. In watching their responses, we learn about them.
Create mysteries about your characters... don’t explain. Let us wonder.
illustrate a personality trait that is at the heart of the arc you’ll be putting that character through.
