Description She’s going to be the first real main character of my comic, but she’s not really important to the story, and in the end I don’t think the others will even know her name. But this isn’t her story, if you’re going to make an omelet, ya don’t need to name the eggs.

Have you tried telling *her* that?

Yeah, she didn't like that too much. Then I found out that she is a much, much more important character than I thought.

Stephen King's attitude is even if the character only lives for a paragraph, there was a complete story from birth up on to that point. Everyone is a complete person. It helps a lot to explore the character a little.

It was considerate of you to ask her. What I'd suggest is a little write up of her history, disposition and "vitals stats" such as likes, dislikes, personal goals, etc. She may not be a major player, but no performance can be measured by the total lines spoken.

Make it a personal exercise, share it if you want (I wouldn't). Don't hold back!
