Ig this counts as a ick i get from other witches, but I hate when I see posts that are like βsigns you are a witchβ because then I feel like Iβm a shitty witch and I canβt even do anything related to the craft right π‘

How to Write a Character
β Start with the basics, because obviously. Name. Age. Gender. Maybe even a birthday if youβre feeling fancy. This is step one because, well, your character needs to exist before they can be interesting. But nobody cares if theyβre 27 or 37 unless it actually matters to the story.
β Looks arenβt everythingβ¦ but also, describe them. Yes, we know their soul is more important than their hair color, but readers still need something to visualize. Do they have the kind of face that makes babies cry? Do they always look like they just rolled out of bed? Give us details, not just βtall with brown hair.
β Personality isnβt just βkind but tough.β For the love of storytelling, give them more than two adjectives. Are they kind, or do they just pretend to be because they hate confrontation? Are they actually tough, or are they just too emotionally repressed to cry in public? Dig deeper.
β Backstory = Trauma (usually). Something shaped them. Maybe it was a messy divorce, maybe they were the middle child and never got enough attention, or maybe they once got humiliated in a spelling bee and never recovered. Whatever it is, make it matter to who they are today.
β Give them a goal. Preferably a messy one. If your characterβs only motivation is to βbe happyβ or βdo their best,β theyβre boring. They need a real goal, one that conflicts with who they are, what they believe in, or what they think they deserve. Bonus points if it wrecks them emotionally.
β Make them suffer. Yes, I said it. A smooth, easy journey is not a story. Give them obstacles. Rip things away from them. Make them work for what they want. Nobody wants to read about a character who just gets everything handed to them (unless itβs satire, then carry on).
β Relationships = Depth. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Who do they love? Who annoys the hell out of them? Who do they have that messy, canβt-live-with-you-canβt-live-without-you tension with? People shape us. So, shape your character through the people in their life.
β Give them a voice that actually sounds like them. If all your characters talk the same, youβve got a problem. Some people ramble, some overthink, some are blunt to the point of being offensive. Let their voice show who they are. You should be able to tell whoβs talking without dialogue tags.
β If they donβt grow, whatβs the point? People change. They learn things, make mistakes, get their hearts broken, and (hopefully) become a little wiser. If your character starts and ends the story as the same exact person, you just wasted everyoneβs time.
β Flaws. Give. Them. Flaws. Nobody likes a perfect character. Give them something to struggle with, maybe theyβre selfish, maybe they push people away, maybe theyβre addicted to the thrill of self-destruction (fun!). Make them real. Make them human.
β Relatability is key. Your character doesnβt have to be likable, but they do have to be understandable. Readers need to get them, even if they donβt agree with them. If your character never struggles, never doubts, and never screws up, I have bad news: theyβre not a character, theyβre a mannequin.
β Youβre never actually done. Characters evolve, not just in the story, but as you write them. If something feels off, fix it. If they feel flat, dig deeper. Keep refining, rewriting, and letting them surprise you. Thatβs how you create someone who feels real.
Now go forth and write characters that actually make people feel something. And if you need a reminder, just ask yourself: Would I care if this person existed in real life? If the answer is meh, start over.
