Here's the agenda: Why a character needs flaws Realistic examples of flaws How to not beat us over the head with flaws How to write characters that seem real enough Why does a character need flaws? (link) So they’re relatable – they’re human, or sort of, just like us So they’ll make mistakes So they’ll seem real – not like our Mary Sue So they’ll be more complicated and add depth to the story So they’ll actually struggle with things – there’s a reason we don’t write stories about God, right? So they can redeem themselves.
