Round Vs Flat Characters: Definitions, Examples and How to Write Them

Scrivener supports text and images.

Round characters are complex with depth and development, while flat characters are simple and serve minor roles. Round characters evolve and have multifaceted personalities; flat ones are often static. Examples: Daenerys Targaryen, Severus Snape, and The Grinch are round; Ginny Weasley and Spicer Lovejoy are flat. Tips for writing: Round characters require detailed backstories and clear motivations, while flat ones need defined purposes without excessive detail. Balance both types for compelling storytelling.
