All the world’s a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts, – William Shakespeare
Perfect characters are such because of their imperfections. There aren’t a lot of people who enjoy a silver spoon story of the perfectly gifted flawlessly achieving every goal in life.
The best characters are complex and flawed. Authors go out of their way to add relatable warts to draw us in. Do it the right away, and we can feel the character’s emotions.
