What Is Character Development?

In graphic novel writing, character development means creating a three-dimensional character that has depth, personality, and clear motivations. Character development can also refer to the changes a character undergoes as a result of their actions and experiences over the course of a story.

Why Is Character Development Important?

In a graphic novel, the character interacts with events over time. Plot and character are inseparable because what happens to a person defines them. Your reader will not be able to comprehend the significance of your events if he or she cannot understand who your characters are and what they value and fear.

Fictional characters have hobbies, pets, histories, ruminations, and obsessions just like real people. Characteristics influence how they react to and feel about things that happen to them. Knowing all aspects of your characters is essential to the success of your novel, so you can understand how they might react under the pressure of events they face.

How Does Character Development Affect Story?

The goal of your main character sets the stakes in your story. As long as your story stakes matter deeply to your protagonist, it doesn't matter how big or small they are.

Maybe your character is trying to save their family from eviction or fighting to keep their business from going bankrupt: they don't have to save the world. To establish what's important to your character (ideally something your audience can relate to), and help the reader imagine what might happen if they lose it, is your job.
