Design satisfying character arcs with clear internal change from start to finish.
Help me plan a complete character arc. Character: [WHO] Arc type: [POSITIVE CHANGE/NEGATIVE/FLAT] Story genre: [GENRE] Main plot: [EXTERNAL CONFLICT] Plan the character arc: 1. STARTING POINT - Who they are at the start - Their flaw or misbelief - What they want (external) - What they actually need (internal) - How flaw manifests in behavior 2. CATALYST - What disrupts their world - Why they can't stay the same - Initial resistance to change 3. MIDPOINT SHIFT - Moment of partial awareness - What they learn/realize - How behavior starts to change - New approach, not yet fully committed 4. DARK MOMENT - Lowest point - Flaw fully confronted - Choice: change or fail - What would be lost without change 5. TRANSFORMATION - Decision/action that proves change - Internal and external alignment - Cost of transformation - New self demonstrated 6. ARC INTEGRATION - How external plot forces internal change - Scene list showing arc progression - Dialogue/action that marks each stage - Before/after comparison Map: Specific scenes where each arc beat occurs.
