As you most probably know, a character is someone you imagine that is involved in the life of your story. Your character can be a protagonist that’s humorous, yet depressed who is the antithesis of a hero. The aim of the game is making your character unique, giving them traits that make them different.

Trait: n 1. A characteristic feature or quality distinguishing a particular person or thing. (Collins Australian Dictionary and Thesaurus)

Now, traits can be flaws and strengths and now I wish to ask you something dear reader, what would you classify as a flaw or strength when writing a character?

Answer in the comments, sincerely Agatha.
