Never worry about fully fleshing out your characters and calling it a day, cause we as humans aren’t done learning either, what makes you think your character is done?
But backstories can't change

Or hell, put in callout salty terms,

As your art style grows and changes
So do your characters
Worry less about fear of change, and just change it, if you don’t like it, change it back and try something else, it’s your art, your stories, and your character.
