Like Hidden, I like working on backstory because that does help to paint a bigger picture with how you want them to turn out. Research is also a good aid with, in what manner, you want your character to stand out. Also going against stereotypes helps tremendously. What I like to do is write characters on the basis of what personally fuels me. For instance Calli is fueled with my love of coyotes and interest for Native American folklore and culture. Both things I'm passionate about. I've been buying books recently on those subjects which goes back to my previous point on how research is a good aid (also the internet as whole SUCKS for information on that because most of it is actually misconstrued it's not even funny).

I feel like books do a better job with characterization because they have more of an open window than say, a 1-2 minute webisode. Though I do feel like the movie specials do a good job on their own, layering their characters. Especially with Dragon Games since it put perspective on Apple White's personality who, did everything she could to sway Raven to follow her destiny which causes a rift in their friendship. Than she later learns that destiny isn't worth the cost of her close friends so she actually goes against the Evil Queen's promise for her happily ever after if it meant saving her friends. Which I thought was really neat. I especially liked Lizzie in Way Too Wonderland for various reasons but mostly has to do with the scenes she has with her mother. <3<3<3
