`Before anything, please pardon any grammar (or other kinds of language) mistakes I might make, for English is not my mother language.` I'm making a fictional world, medieval-like with a wide variety of different kinds of magic. So far, my main character has three companions which accompany him in his quest. These characters' personalities differ vastly from one another, but I have been unable to truly establish that _trait_... that "_thing_" which makes a character memorable. Every time I re-read my story, they just feel like _I was defining them, instead of them defining themselves_. How can I make it so they really _feel_ like well-defined characters? What things should I keep in mind while writing?
