Hidden Depths

Create a character who starts off as two-dimensional or stereotypical, but then uncovers deeper aspects of their personality.

This prompt encourages the exploration of how character development can subvert audience expectations. As the story develops, it should challenge the initial impression of the character, introducing elements of surprise, depth, and complexity. For instance, the seemingly mundane everyday character could hold a big secret or have an unexpected past life. Questions to ask could be: What truths lie beneath their initial exterior? How might these revelations affect their relationships and actions?
