Quirks & Flaws Worksheet

A Character Development Tool

The Quirks & Flaws Worksheet is a structured character development tool designed to help creators build more intentional, layered, and story-driven characters.

This worksheet focuses on two critical elements of storytelling—surface behavior (quirks) and internal conflict (flaws) and guides you through how they connect, evolve, and show up on screen or on the page.

Whether you’re developing a series for REN, writing scripts, building out a story world, or participating in Script My Story sessions, this tool helps you move beyond basic character traits and into story-ready character design.
