As a male writer, coming up with well-developed female characters can be impossibly difficult. While this flowchart did kinda screw with my story quite a lot after I put my characters through it…I think it at least made them less stereotypical.
I think.
This is invaluable!
This chart always makes me laugh at how true it is.
(I would argue that some characters would actually be able to go straight through to Strong with the right writer, like Harley Quinn. They only need a little bit of retooling.)
I’d like to point out that some of these aren’t necessarily bad, such as the tomboy.
