It is important to remember that in order to create believable characters, writers must consider things like appearance, age, relationship status, character likes and dislikes, geographical location, and any little quirks or flaws the character has.  Details like these are essential in creating a lovable, flawed, and 3-dimensional character!

 

Now that you have an idea for a person based on these details, create a believable character and put him/her in an unlikely situation to see what happens :)  Make sure this prompt is written in Third Person!
