Traumatic situations often reveal a person's true self. Actions tend to speak louder than words in these moments. Consider how your chosen person might react to a challenging situation, like a blind date or a wildfire.
Try to set aside personal feelings. You may love your spouse, but how would they realistically respond in the face of a wildfire? Consider both what you know about them and what you intuitively sense.
We often react instinctively to others, but we might ignore the quiet voice in our minds. Listen to this intuition about your chosen person's underlying humanity, and weave these insights into your fictional character.
The essence you need to bring your character to life may be hidden behind everyday smiles.
