Description
Le-Vampire-Cat's Improved Character Development MemeWarning!- This Meme is SUPER long, as I created it to help you develop your character in as many ways as possible! Good luck, brave writer!
Instructions- I have revamped this meme so that the questions are aimed at the character themselves. So I would suggest answering as your character, but if you have anything to add that your character wouldn't say, but you want to write (then put it in brackets, like this
.) -If there are any questions that don't apply to your OC, simply delete them, as this is meant to be a meme that includes as many types of characters and scenarios as possible, and so there will be questions that will not apply to your OC
-If a question is numbered 3a, or 42b, it means it is a continuation of a previous question. For example, '24- is your character adopted' any questions after this numbered 24a or so on will be questions about an adopted character, so if your character was not adopted, these questions are not relevant to you. I've numbered them this way so it's easier to decide if you want to delete a block of questions instead of answering irrelevant things
.I hope this is helpful, and enjoy!

Improved Character Development Meme - Ivy DanversThe Basics

What do you mean by the character's soundtrack? Do you mean what they listen to or what song describes them best?

All the songs you can think of that you feel best describe them

No problem ^.^

It really depends on the character and the universe they're in ^.^.
For example, in one of the stories I'm working on, one of the characters believes that witches should be in charge of the world, and humans would get no say in this, while other characters believe that the witches and the humans should work together to create a world governed by both. This would be my interpretation of a character's political beliefs in my story
It might not be relevant to your character or their story, so if you're unsure you can just skip this one
