I find that, when writing bios, it’s really helpful to look at a list or a chart like the one above. Picking two or three traits from each chart and building a character based around them will give you a really interesting bio, because they will serve as a reminder that characters need depth and dimension.

Independent and clever.

VS.

Independent, clever, pretentious, and stubborn.

The first combination doesn’t come with any flaws, whereas the second will provide a more dynamic character.

Hey fic writers: the Impala doesn’t have airbags. They weren’t used in the US until 1973, and that was only in some GM models. They weren’t required until 1998.

A quick google search will prevent anachronisms in your 1967 Chevy Impala.
