It is very important to get to know the characters of your stories/novels, as knowing the basics can provide description and characterization throughout your novel.

I have compiled a basic character reference sheet below in the hopes that you will find it of use.

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Profession:
Where he lives:

Appearance

Eye color:
Glasses or contacts:
Weight:
Height:
Type of body/build:
Skin tone:
Shape of face:
Notable features:
Hair color:
Type of hair:
Hairstyle:
Is he or she in good health?
If not, why not?
Physical disabilities:

Favorites

Color:
Music:
Movie:
Food:
Clothing:
Prized possession:

Background & Family

Hometown:
Relationship with mother:
Relationship with father:
Siblings:
How many?:
Describe relationship:
Place in the birth order:
Extended family?:
Describe relationship:

Personality

Greatest fear:
Why?:
The worst thing that could happen?:
Most at ease when:
Most uncomfortable when:
Most embarrassing past failure:
Darkest secret:
Does anyone know?:
If yes, did character tell them?:
If no, how did they find out?"
Greatest strength:
Greatest weakness:
Biggest vulnerability:
Biggest accomplishment:
Biggest regret:

Interpersonal Skills

How does character relate to others?:
How is he or she perceived by others?:
What do others like most about character?:
What do others like least about character?:
If you use this for character information and post it on DA as some people like to do, please give me credit for it and link back to this deviation.

Though it's an older deviation, it's still as important as when I created it, which is why I'm submitting it to #LITplease for their "NaNoWriMo Resource" nonfiction prompt.
