Writing Advice: Characterization

Writing Advice: Characterization

Sometimes, the best inspiration for how you should characterize your character is how they first appear and struggle you have with writing them.

For example, when it comes to writing a character's sexuality or gender identity, I just let my struggle decide.

For example, I knew Théo was a trans woman before she knew since she kept switching between appearing as a man and as a woman so much. Eventually my brain decided "woman" but I decided to bring up her past with dicks by making her a trans woman.

Or Claude Covarrubias who gave me the biggest chase for gender i've ever seen! Genuinely, I kept trying to get a lock on their gender but it was futile as a cat trying to catch a bird from outside. I eventually decided that their gender was "ambiguous". What genitalia were they born with? I don't know. What do they identify as now? Murderer

Or Atlas who could not make up his fucking mind about his gender. Were they trans or cis? We didn't know. Woman, man, or nonbinary? We didn't know. So, Atlas was born into this world as Intersex but only discovered this fact through puberty when he randomly developed breasticles. They identify as nonbinary(genderqueer) and can go with any pronouns.

Basically, use your struggles to define your characters. Can't decide if they are paranoid or laidback? Make that their character struggle!
