As you are aware of a story is nothing without a cast or at least a character! Though how do we even start? Well, with an idea naturally. You can take well just about anything and make it into a fully functional character. However, that brings up the question, what can we do as writers to develop a function character?
I decided to share some ways of how I develop my own characters. 'Cause apparently they are well thought out and good? Eh, I disagree but what the hell.
First off I start with what is known as "Character Layers" and it's pretty simple. I just fell out this list. By doing so, I start to really solidified my character basics before I start evolving them to fit into my stories.

Small white specks fly around in the blue-grey sky, the sun barely shown behind the dull clouds. Fish swim underneath the translucent layer of ice that covered the small pond. Some trees are bare, shivering in the cold winter air. Others are covered in a thick green coat, staying warm even with the snow that they collected. Animals are asleep, snoring in their caves or holes, resting themselves so they are rejuvenated for Spring. Snow continues to fall, dusting our cars, roads, and homes. The freezing weather frosts our windows, making them harder to see out of.Kids zip up their snowsuits and up into the soft snow, their cheeks turning pink as they smile and play. Adults shovel their driveway, making them easier for them to get out, as they watch their children make snow angels. Wind blows the lighter snow up into the sky, re-dusting everything they see.
