Build a character profile:
1. Name + age + role in the world
2. One-line description (the kind that fits on a casting sheet)
3. Physical: 3 distinctive details — not generic
4. The single defining wound from their past
5. Conscious want vs. unconscious need (in tension)
6. Greatest strength and how it's also their weakness
7. Three voice tags: vocabulary, rhythm, verbal tic
8. A meaningful object they carry and what it represents
9. How they enter a room. How they leave one.
10. The lie they tell themselves
11. The truth they're avoiding
12. What would have to change for them to be a different person

End with a 1-paragraph scene snippet that introduces them in action — show, don't tell.
