Follow up post to Your Character’s Personality

Character growth is when something about your character’s personality changes.

Why might a character change?

A character might change if something about their personality has been challenged so many times, or so profusely, that they are forced to question it. It can happen gradually over a period of time or after one, significant event. Growth can be either positive or negative.

For example, there’s Lucia who values communication and honesty. She’s been in a relationship with Kenny for a few months now and whenever she goes to him when her feelings are hurt to talk it out, he reacts negatively: her values are being challenged.  She begins to question them, “what’s the point in me trying to communicate if it always ends with us screaming at each other?” So, she eventually stops going to him when she’s upset and lies about her feelings. This is negative character growth.

Maybe there’s Ling who believes that work comes before play. He takes this belief very seriously and works all the time, even working on his own time at home. He has a sudden, near death experience and realizes that he could’ve just died without doing a single thing he’s actually wanted to do. His belief is challenged, and he questions it: “is working from the time I get up to the time I go to bed really how I want to spend my life?”  He stops working so much and spends time doing hobbies that he enjoys and socializes more and makes friends. This is positive character growth.

What about static characters?

While a character can change for the better or for the worst, they also don’t have to grow at all. These are called static characters, and they are just as interesting as dynamic characters.

This isn’t a dinosaur fossil; it’s a mummy. Scientists think the 110 million-year-old nodosaur was swept to sea by a flooding river, sank, landed on its back, and was pressed into the ocean floor. It’s so well- preserved that it still has intestines and weighs 2,500 of its original 3,000 lbs. Source Source 2 Source 3
