In a short story, which in practice is usually 1,000 and 3,000 words, you simply have no room to fully describe a character to your reader. On the other hand, you have to mean your characters real, personally for you, so you can behave in an authentic way.
1st What do they look?
Some authors would say start with a description, instead they will look like them, but for me, the physical appearance of a character is always a priority, and that's where I start.
Take pen and paper and write down the following physical properties: color eyes and hair, hairstyle, skin color, age, design, thin or thick. You can do in 50 words or less. And remember, once the basic description, you can later change at any time. Getting Started a clear picture of your character in your eyes.
2nd Background
Where were they born and where they have grown? Regard their country of origin, region or state, city or village. What were their parents' names? What school do they? What jobs have you had, and what work they have now? Are they married or single? Children? See it in your eyes, so that their background come to you start on life. All these things are on their way to think and react to different situations. Note that it begin to drop rapidly.
3rd Likes and dislikes
What kind of food they like, they are a drinker? Are they in sports, pets, hobbies? What music they hear and what movies they like? What is your favorite food is and what is not their position? Do they have pet hates or phobias? Put everything on paper, but be brief.
4th Character
We come now as they are as a person. What is their temperament? Easy to live? quick-tempered! angry Fearful, easily? Are they strong or simply wanted to run by others? Are they assigned to have or not stupid? Are they loving and outgoing, or shy and turned himself in? Write it down and try, in your head, what kind of person they build inside.
Now keep in mind that all this information can get from your story. The reader can never say that your character's pastime the head of the needle, or they have grown into poverty in a Welsh mining village, but to know you, the writer, and this will help you will give your character an appropriate response, the accent and the feedback they brush against the other characters in the story.
At this point you should know that their name and age. You may know that have changed from the start, but if you like, one or the other now you know better your character?
As a writer, you should try to make your stay characters, breathing, believable human beings. And ideally, you want to develop your reader on an emotional relationship with them. "How do you want your readers to respond? You want the reader to love her, she does not like, it's fun? Get the details on the character of the paper, as we have above will help you react to your character readers Craft .
