How can I write empathic characters in my story?

To write empathic characters, start by understanding their motivations and emotions. What drives them?

What techniques can I use to show their emotions effectively?

You can use internal monologues, body language, and dialogue to convey their feelings. Show, don't just tell!

Can you give me an example of an empathic character?

Sure! Think of a character who always helps others, like a nurse or a teacher, who genuinely cares about their well-being.

How do I avoid making them seem one-dimensional?

Give them flaws and challenges. Show how they struggle with their emotions or make mistakes, which makes them relatable.
