I am a sucker for giving characters small details about them personality wise that would probably only come up in tiny conversations or specific scenarios in like an rp or something. And they don't even have to be that small or big, ya know? Just like, think about it.
What is their favorite time of day? Why? Is it cuz of food, cuz of a certain reward around that time, a sight? An event? A memory? What about a favorite time of day on weekends versus weekdays? Does it change for certain areas, like when traveling abroad? Are they a morning person but would stay up all night kind of person? A night person that envies the way people see the golden horizon first thing in the morning? Would they make people stop and look at the sky during their favorite time of day, if its like sunrise/sunset sorta deal?
Favorite food? Do they have multiple, each for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks? What about specific dishes? Specific preparations/recipes? Would they eat it if their parents made it but not anyone else? Not just "they like sweets more than spicy" NO! do they happen to have that one spicy food they actually do like? Like mild queso dip and chips or something? Do they combine sweets with spicy? What about sour? Umami? Do they prefer a certain texture of food? Would they like waffles crunchy or soft? Eggs soft or hard boiled? Scrambled or fried? Do they eat nuggets with BBQ or ketchup? What about both? How do they like their burger prepared, or their steak? Are they actually open to new food or do they just hate wasting food? Do they get embarrassed by their favorite food? Or maybe too excited, or both, when it's around? Or do they share it? Why do they like the food, anyway, is it diet reasons? Flavor reasons? Memory reasons?
They don't like something? Like bugs? What kind of bugs? Does it also include worms, and if so do they actually hate the creepy crawlies or do they just hate the thought of what they feel like? And so does that somehow include not-bug-creatures like frogs or something? What about bugs that no normal person would know about. Do they know the difference between a minecraft and irl silverfish; in fact, if they do, do they like the minecraft silverfish but would scream at the irl one? Do they FEAR the bugs or do they just not want them to coexist inside their home? Would they calmly/gently save a bee that flew into their house on accident but then screech at a moth? Would they actually be fine looking at bugs online or in like an exhibit but freeze when seeing the real thing in their bathroom?
Fashion?? Uhm, more please. Do they combine styles, do they use certain inspos, what are those inspos? Do they just get ideas from like instagram or do they make their outfits themselves? Do they prefer makeup or hair styling? Do they even style or do their makeup? Would they save certain types of styles for certain events, or is it all the same kind of thing? Do they switch it up often, if they like multiple?
PLEASE. It's somehow so fun, and specifying those details can really make characters feel a bit more real, at least to me. You don't have to, but really, when you make a character and want to work on those kinds of details, ask more questions than just "what do they like/dislike?" Ask questions you'd ask someone you're trying to befriend, or maybe friends you're like zonked with or something. You don't have to put it all on their character sheet, but really. Soz for the long post lmao
