How To Add Character Dimension? Use Theme.

A good way to do this is to position the character around the theme.

By giving the character a certain belief or point of view relative to the theme, you determine more specifically Who They Are.

This helps decide so many things: their backstory, their description, how they'll change, how they interact with other characters, their role...and so on.

It gives you a solid foundation for building a character, a solid role for the character to play and a solid reason for the character being in the story.
