A useful list of traits that the reader can develop.

This is how this tutorial is going to work. I have provided a list of traits for your main characters. So you just cut and paste the traits into your word processor, fill in the blanks and print it out. This should help develop your main characters and make a better storyline. (don't forget to use "tab" to make it neater!)
