👉 The characterization project involves the detailed study and development of characters within a narrative, aiming to create multi-dimensional, believable, and relatable figures that drive the plot forward. This process includes exploring characters' backgrounds, motivations, personalities, and relationships, often through writing exercises, interviews with the author or character consultants, and sometimes audience feedback. The goal is to ensure that each character contributes meaningfully to the story, enhancing its depth and emotional resonance.
