Real Character 

​Not everything is black and white. It's been told to us a million times. But it is still easier said than executed in a story.        

Your characters aren't just the good side fighting the evil side. People, real people, get scared, make mistakes and fall on their faces, can be tricked and manipulated, and can be selfless and unexpected. They sit on the fence, they switch sides, they second-guess themselves. They are capable of more than just the sum of their heredity, environment, personality, and predisposition.
