Hey Hey!

Okay, I'm actually really impressed by the amount of detail and work that has gone into this. I think that she is really good! Ready for storytelling.
I say this because your character isn't really living until you've put them in their universe/situations/ and what not. She just needs a plot to jump into.

I would say that her motivations are a bit on the underdeveloped side. My favorite question to ask myself while working on this section is "why". Why does she want to go home? Why does she want the perfect romance? Why does she want to protect the ones she loves? etc etc.

It also helps you build on their personality like anyone who wants to protect their loved ones is fierce, strong, dedicated, etc.
Try that out and see how it works!

Yayy thank you
Okay so I have this one character named Lila thats really smart and really stoic and badass and awesome and she has like one friend at school whos kind of a jerk. There's this scene where the girl yells at Lil in the hallway at school in front of everyone and practically reduces Lila to tears. I need something for the friend to be a jerk about to Lila but I'm having trouble coming up with something that would make Lila be on the verge of tears because she hardly ever takes any shit.
Let me know if you need more details

Hmmmm. Does miss Lila have something in her past that she would rather keep secret that her jerk friend only knows?

Deleted user

Oh! Well that was a lot easier than I expected. You are very welcome!

@Moxie group

Lol sorry
I guess my problem had an easy fix
But this way is cool because it gets to show how much Lila cares for her family

No need to apologize. Sometimes the easiest plot points just boop you in the nose. :P
