The easiest way to bring a charecter to life is to give them some huge
flaw that they must struggle to overcome, like some glaring physical
handicap. For example, mousse is half blind, or shampoo has her
bimbo-ness.

Hey guys,
I'm currently working on a new character for a Ranma fanfic. I know
that many people consider new characters to be dull and that authors try
to glorify them and stuff. I have no such intention but I need some
help. I have most of my character's personality outlined but I don't
have many character flaws and no negative aspects. If any of you
helpful people could give me a hand and perhaps some ideas I would be
eternally grateful. If anyone needs any information on my character or
my story I will send you what you want to know. Please send any and all
replies privately please so we don't clog up the list with unwanted
spam.
Thanx in advance.
