• {{diversity_goals}}: Any specific inclusivity or representation requirements.

Instructions

2. Develop a detailed character profile including appearance, personality traits, backstory, goals, and fears.
3. Design a character arc that evolves through the learning journey, showing growth and overcoming challenges.
