Simple Character Development Sheet

  This post is for helping you get to know and become your character, whether for writing or for acting.  Even if it's a side character that only says a few lines, or doesn't say anything at all, or a main character.  No matter who your character is, big or small, it's important to fully know them so you can fit their personalties and characteristics.
