Variety in my characters is very important to me because they're novel characters first, fandom characters second. Therefore, it's essential to make them different, but interesting.

I like writing concepts based on the stories they're inspired from. Any possibility of giving a twist to an otherwise familiar tale is a chance I never want to pass up on. Once I find that twist or an idea crawls it's way into my mind, I start building it up, adding weight to it, defining it with backstory, etc.

To sum up my process, I get an idea, flesh it out, add connections to said character, discuss the character, write the character and make sure it's backstory is solid and intriguing to read.

As for the webisodes, they could be way better at characterizing the characters, but something falls flat. Yes, you do see unique personality traits in some, but they are mainly main characters and I'd really like to see more minor characters become more real and feel more tangible to the audience. The kids might not care, but any good show can use even the smallest of time to make a character cool and some fall extremely flat.
