A/N: Whenever I create my characters for a new book, I begin to fill in the answers of what my characters physically look like, their personalities + traits, families + religions, educations, jobs, homes, psychology, astrology and physiology. All of my characters in different stories are Christians just like me. Last year, while I was Googling what the character development looked like; I typed in some of the questions that I saved on WordPad. You can save some of the questions by submitting them on either WordPad or on a notebook that will come in handy. When you begin creating a character for your story, imagine if you're friends with you main character and you've been to their house, go to the same school as them and work at the same work place as them. So, here are the questions down below to help you start on your character development;
