Character Development

Characters are fictional people or nonhuman beings. Authors develop characters by literally or figuratively describing their physical and metal traits, or characteristics.

Authors have characters take actions, including having thoughts, making decisions, and speaking dialogue, in response to plot events.

The ways characters change over the course of a story is called character development. Authors often contrast characters against one another to emphasize similar and different characteristics. A character foil is a character who contrasts another character.
