Others may simply be interesting folk who populate your story\u2019s world. Be sure each character includes how they see their role (if any) in the events, or if they seem themselves as just an observer or bystander. If they <em>are<\/em> involved in the plot, outline the nature of their participation as they see it.<\/p>\n<p>Again, you don\u2019t want to go into great detail at this time. What you want is just an idea of how your story looks through each character\u2019s eyes.
