[QUOTE="Sugar, post: 2653511, member: 211930"] There isn't something like a formula that is used to introduce a character. However, there are a few principles to follow that can help you when you want to introduce one. Before you introduce a character , first make sure that the character relates to the story. Do not give the reader the back story of that character immediately after introducing him/her. First create an incident then explain how the character behaved and to justify why he/she behaved that way or said what he/ she said, give a background story. Then build emotions.By building the character emotions, you also build your reader’s emotions for the character. Take your reader on an emotional ride, and they won’t be able to stop turning the pages. It usually works out well if there is a reason to introduce that character.The simplest way perharps is to make a short profile of the character in a notebook. the characters age, name,looks, personality, behavioural problems, how the character takes on certain situations that could potentially arise, the characters past(if relevant) then youcan have ease putting them into the story [/QUOTE]
