When a Character Is Angry but Doesn’t Know Why

Not all rage is loud. Sometimes it simmers. Sometimes it sneaks in. Especially for characters who aren’t used to feeling things or grew up in environments where anger wasn’t safe to express. So when it starts showing up, they don’t even recognize it as anger. They just feel… off. Wrong. Tense.

✧ They get irritated by things that never used to bother them. The way someone chews. A clock ticking. The sound of their name. They can’t explain it, they just feel raw, like their skin doesn’t fit.

✧ They isolate, but don’t call it that. Suddenly, they’re “too tired” to go out. “Too busy” to reply. But really, they don’t trust themselves to be around people without snapping.

✧ They pick fights over things that don’t matter. Because it’s easier to yell about the dishes than admit they feel powerless, unworthy, or invisible.

✧ They can’t sit still. Pacing. Fidgeting. Restlessness that feels like there’s a wasp trapped under their skin and they can’t get it out.

✧ They joke, but it stings. Sarcasm that cuts a little too deep. “Just teasing” that leaves bruises. Humor becomes a weapon they don’t even realize they’re using.

✧ They blame themselves for feeling bad. Instead of thinking something is wrong, they think I’m wrong for feeling this way. The anger turns inward. Self-criticism sharpens.

✧ They can’t cry, and it scares them. They want to break. To feel something clean. But all they feel is the pressure building, and it doesn’t go anywhere.

✧ They eventually explode, and hate themselves for it. One wrong word and suddenly it’s fire. And after? Shame. Guilt. Confusion. Like, What was that? What’s wrong with me?

✧ Their anger isn’t just anger. It’s grief in disguise. That’s the twist. Most of the time, the anger is covering up a heartbreak they haven’t admitted yet.

✧ They’re not “bad” for being angry. They’re human. Write that. Let them be messy and let them feel without always knowing why.

I’m back with some more art!! But again it’s older pieces since I have not done anything more since my last post 😒 but I wanted to post something at least so here it is!! This time it’s the bg3 oc I had mentioned in my last post!! I #love bards, theyre my favourite class in the game. So I had made a companion oc for it since theyre just so silly!!

Her name is Luthien 😝 (I do not have a last name for her yet 💔) And she is a half elf bard!! She too has lore but maybe I’ll do that in a separate post fr…❤️ but her personality is that like jaskier in the Witcher!! But just a *tad* more dramatic since dramatic MFS r just so silly..❤️ she is also a hopeless romantic at heart since I thought it would go hand in hand with her otherwise rather already dramatic self 💔💔 (she is the type to scream when a rat crawls on her boot)

The first piece is her latest desgin I’ve drawn not so long ago and the second being an older desgin!! But she hasn’t changed too much other than that 😝and she still has kept that small gap in between her teeth like she has in the second one but thank you for reading and looking at my art!! And don’t ask about the fact the first ones rendering is not finished I am lazy 😞

Write Characters with Deep Emotional Wounds

(Without Making Them Walking Tragedies)

╰ Start with the scar, not the stabbing. Everyone talks about what happened to your character (The Big Trauma) but honestly? It’s the aftermath that matters. Show me the limp, not the bullet wound. Show me the way they flinch at kindness or double-check locks three times. The wound shapes them more than the event ever did.

╰ Don't make them "Sad All The Time" People with deep hurts aren’t just dramatic sob machines. They make bad jokes. They find weird hobbies. They have good days and then get wrecked by a song in a grocery store. Layers, my friend. Pain is complex and it sure as hell isn’t aesthetic.

╰ Let them almost heal and then backslide. Real healing isn’t linear. One good conversation doesn’t erase ten years of bottled-up grief. Your character might think they’re over it, and then one tiny thing, a smell, a phrase, a look, knocks them right back into the hole. Make them earn their healing. Make us ache for them.

╰ Give them armor and show the cracks. Maybe it’s sarcasm. Maybe it’s perfectionism. Maybe it’s taking care of everyone else so no one notices they're broken. Whatever mask they wear, show us the hairline fractures. Let us catch the moments where they almost drop the act.

╰ Don’t turn their trauma into their only personality trait. Yes, they’ve been through hell. But they also love spicy chips and bad reality TV. They have dumb crushes and secret dreams. A tragic backstory isn’t a substitute for a full human being. Let them be more than the worst thing that ever happened to them.

╰ Let their wound warp their decisions. People protect their wounds. Even badly. Especially badly. They might sabotage good relationships. Or push away help. Or cling too tightly. Make their past live in their choices, not just their flashbacks.

╰ Don’t make the world validate them for existing. Not everyone is going to understand your wounded character. Some people will misunderstand them. Blame them. Get frustrated. And honestly? That’s real. Let your character find their people, after facing the ones who don’t get it. It’s so much sweeter that way.

╰ Wounds can make them kinder—or crueler. Pain changes people. Some become protectors. Some become destroyers. Some do both, depending on the day. Let your character’s hurt make them complicated. Unpredictable. Human.

╰ Don’t heal them just to tie a neat bow on your story Sometimes the best ending is messy. Sometimes the healing is just starting. Sometimes it’s just hope, not a full recovery montage. That’s okay. Healing is a lifelong, terrifying, brave process—and readers feel it when you respect that.

I have finally completed a piece of artwork guys..heh…🤤 I finally motivated myself to draw and not be lazy…but I completed the wip from my last post!! I also have added a very much not finished reference for her since I’ll probably redesgin her armour to look better 💔💔 BUT I DID ADD SOME DOODLES TO THE SAME REFERENCE FOR NO REASON OTHER THEN I WANTED TO DRAW HER

Her name is Winona Mirthbow!! She is a dragon age oc, but she could be just a DND oc overall!! But focusing on the dragon age factor, she is a companion rather then the MC since I do enjoy making companions for games such as dragon age and BG3(which I do have a companion oc for that game as well!!)

But back to Winona, she is the warrior class since that is a fire class 🔥🔥 I have..so much lore..on her and I might make that its own post if interested!! But here are the artworks fr 😞❤️ and thank you for looking at my post whoever you are!!❤️❤️

character development is when your protagonist starts saying “i don’t care” and means it. before, they said it with a trembling lip. now they say it with peace. and maybe a machete
