This worksheet helps you build a character for a story. You don’t need to solve a math problem — instead, you’ll fill in details about your own made-up character.
Here’s how to do it step by step:
1.
Start with the name – At the bottom, write your character’s name. Pick something that fits their personality or world (like “Lila the Brave” or “Zorg the Quiet”).
2.
Appearance – In the top left box, describe what your character looks like. Think about hair color, height, clothes, scars, glasses, etc. Example: “Tall, messy brown hair, always wears a red hoodie.”
3.
Strengths – Top right box. What is your character good at? Maybe they’re super fast, great at solving puzzles, or never give up. Example: “Can talk to animals,” or “Never lies.”
4.
Motivation – Inside the body shape. Ask yourself: What does this character want more than anything? It could be love, revenge, freedom, finding a lost parent, winning a contest. Example: “To find the magic key that opens any door.”
5.
Background – Bottom left. Where did they come from? What happened before the story started? Did they grow up poor? Were they raised by wolves? Example: “Grew up in a village destroyed by dragons. Now travels alone.”
6.
Flaws – Bottom right. Nobody’s perfect! What makes your character struggle? Are they too proud? Scared of heights? Always late? Example: “Trusts people too easily,” or “Gets angry when things go wrong.”
You can make this as fun or serious as you want. The goal is to create someone real enough that readers care about them.
Final Answer:
Fill out each section of the worksheet with your own creative ideas for a character — starting with their name at the bottom, then appearance, strengths, motivation, background, and flaws.
