  2. It's a little excessive, so when writing, it would be hard to refer to. But that's okay, I just opened up a word document and took out the unnecessary information.

    1. Fill in each point as if your character were answering it. I would use line breaks after each point as it can be a lot of writing and it will make it easier to read later. I have a few character profile sheets on this blog that I've filled out, so check those out too if you get stuck.
