Characters
Now that you got your plot, what’s the thing you need to write a story and without it you wouldn’t have one? Characters! That’s right characters, characters are the people who you use in your book, kind of like game pieces you pick one up and move it in whatever direction it’s supposed to go. For a character, you need a name, personality, and a background. Here is a character profile form I found online, this you would use only for your main characters.
