Character Development
I think people REALLY need to know the difference between this and character arcs. Majority of people I talk to on various fandoms seem to think all character development is just for example a bad guy turning good. That’s part of it but I think character development, as per wiki’s great example, is this…’The audience must infer for themselves what the character is like through the character’s thoughts, actions, speech (choice of words, way of talking), looks and interaction with other characters, including other characters’ reactions to that particular person.’
