How can I create characters with flaws?

Creating characters with flaws adds depth and realism. What type of flaws are you considering?

I want them to be relatable but not too extreme.

You could consider flaws like insecurity, stubbornness, or a tendency to procrastinate. Do any of these resonate with your character?

I like the idea of insecurity. How can I show that in their actions?

You can show insecurity through their dialogue, body language, and decision-making. For example, they might second-guess themselves or avoid situations where they feel judged.

That makes sense! Any tips on balancing their flaws with strengths?

Absolutely! Make sure their strengths complement their flaws. For instance, an insecure character might be very empathetic, which can create interesting dynamics.
