Write a brief description of a character based only on the contents of their backpack or purse.
This prompt throws light on the old saying, “You can tell a lot about a person by what they carry.” This approach can provide vivid insights about a character’s profession, hobbies, personality traits, secrets or even their dreams. Share your thoughts on why they hold on to these objects and what these items mean to them. It’s a call to understand your character from an unconventional perspective, encouraging the skill of ‘show, don’t tell’ in character development.
