Character Writing Model

Cliche character's are so common, and I think it's time to nip them in the butt. I want your help creating the ultimate character building sketch!

Our character's should all be different, that are so many different personality types out in the world, and yet they consistently work out to be the same or some variation of someone else.

So how do you model character's? I have a pretty simple method which I'm going to breeze through here pretty quickly.

For every two positive characteristics you have to give them at least one negative. This goes for physical, and psychological traits. If your character doesn't have flaws, then your character is no one. Character's also require quirks and things that make them tick, so let's go through it?

Let's do an example. I will use my character Florence Todd from Symptoms of Life Hopefully I won't give away too much.
