Minor Character Backstory

Choose a minor character from an animated series and write a backstory for them.

Minor characters often don’t get much screen time, leaving their pasts and personal lives largely unexplored. What are their dreams, fears or secrets? This prompt asks writers to develop a rich backstory for an overlooked character. This exercises creativity in character development, plot construction and can provide a fresh perspective on the series itself.
