Tips for Using the Character Tree:
Start with the Core: Develop your main character first.
Branch Out: Then, create supporting characters based on how they interact with the main character.
Be Detailed: The more detail, the better you understand your characters.
Be Flexible: Don't be afraid to change your characters as the story evolves.
Use it as a Reference: Keep the tree handy while writing to ensure consistency.
Consider Visuals: A mind-map software or even hand-drawn diagrams can help visualize relationships.
Iterate: Continuously refine your character details as you write.
Focus on Internal Conflict: A character's inner struggles often drive the plot.
This structure provides a framework. Adapt it to fit the specific needs of your story. Good luck!
