ABSTRACT
Without a doubt, the most important component of any story is the characters. Characters are the force that drives the story forward. They are the element that hooks an audience in. Without interesting, well-defined characters, your story won’t work because the audience won’t care. Therefore, it is imperative that you create multi-dimensional characters. Multi-dimensional characters are characters with many layers. Like most human beings, they are not perfect. They have flaws and weaknesses that occasionally lead them astray and get them into trouble, yet these same flaws and weaknesses make them relatable.
