Usually, for any of my multi-chapter stories, I try to plan out my characters and really make them believable. But apparently I haven't been doing as good a job as I thought.
You brought up several things that would help when it comes to making a great character. And you definitely opened my mind to some new ideas I could try.

This article is so useful! It's my aim to use this to create at least three new characters over my summer holidays, and this is really helpful. I used it to help characterise the character I'm playing for a piece in my drama class, and my teacher said that my characterisation had come on brilliantly, so thank you so much!
I know this a bit late, but I just now found this article thanks to "New Mibba." This is a very helpful article and I really enjoyed it! I plan on using this on the characters in my main stories to give them a bit more depth
