Character creation tips and tricks

First of all, I want to thank you for the warm welcome to this lovely community :) I’m hoping we can help each other on our writing journey <3

So, on the fun process of character creation, I’ve tried different ways to build them up and make them as wholesome as possible in my head:

Sketch: When I was younger, I used to draw my characters next to a short description of physical and personal traits. I link to an example from 2005 (heavily influenced by Floricienta--whom I was obsessed with at the time).

Character x-ray: There are a lot of templates to build character profiles online, some are quite long and detailed! This is an exercise I did a couple of years ago using that method.

16 Personalities test: An instructor once advised me to try and answer the 16 Personalities test as if I were one of my characters. It gave me a clearer idea of who they were.

Reference what you know: I choose a public figure or someone I know to visualize my character, and I pick 2 or 3 characters that are similar to mine to understand my characters’ archetype.

For my current project, By Blood& Steam, I’ve mostly relied on number 4 for my characters’ conception. With that as a starting point, I’ve fleshed out their back stories and other details.

Here are the samples of my two main characters:

Floricienta Episode 51 (ENG SUB)

Translator's Note

At 24:34 approx., when Bata is calling Mirta in the shed, he says "¿Lobo está, Mirta?" (We put "Is the wolf there, Mirta?"). This is a reference to a children's game that goes something like: "Let's play in the woods while the wolf is gone/Is the wolf there?" and whoever is playing as the wolf stalls for a few rounds (they answer the question with stuff like "I'm waking up/I'm dressing/I'm brushing my teeth") until eventually on one round they go like "Yes, I'm here!" and chase the other players until one is caught and loses. Whoever is left last wins.

Also, another note on names: The name of Clara's little sister, Paz, means "peace", which is why Martín asks Greta how to say "peace" in German.

whats march 21st mean?

It's a reference of an early 2000s argentinean kid's telenovela/show (Floricienta). The main character dreamed that her crush would gift her yellow flowers as a way of declaring her his love, she has a song about it called Flores Amarillas. The song got popular in Mexico first I think and since over there spring starts today, people decided to give yellow flowers to their SO/friends.

It's not really a super known tradition cause to be fair it got popular a few years ago but it's always fun to have an excuse to gift flowers yknow?

7. A song that makes you laugh: not so much bc it's funny but Slumber Party by Ashnikko ft.

8. A song you want your mutuals to listen to: Dance With Me by Ra Ra Riot bc it's one of my favorite songs ever and it makes me happy

Floricienta Episode 50 (ENG SUB)

Translator's Note

At around 27:10, when Delfina hurries into a bedroom and Flor starts going "Red like Little Riding Hood's, your face is…", we took a little liberty in the translation. The original is a reference to María Elena Walsh's story "El paquete de Ososfete", where the main character is called Osofete Colorete, which is what Flor says: "Osofete Colorete, tengo mucho colorete" ("colorete" meaning make-up blush). Florencia starts singing this as if it's a playground rhyme game to point out that Delfina's cheeks are all red, as if she put on too much make-up. We used Little Red Riding Hood to keep the element of children's story and have the color red somewhere.
