Not gonna lie, backstory is something I love and something I rarely find. I love not really liking Rosalie (Twilight) and then finding out why she hates being a vampire in Eclipse. I loved not understanding Jasper and then hearing his totally amazing backstory (also in Eclipse). I think that, in general, the masters of this are the manga-kas of Shoujo. (For those of you who don't read manga, I'm talking about the artists/writers of girl manga). I'm pretty sure every character had a complicated backstory in Fruits Basket, and I LOVE that.
Where am I going with this? I've been thinking up backstories for each of my characters in the story I'm writing with my friend Reagan. Already I notice the difference and it's crazy!!!! I totally reccommend this to anyone, especially someone with a lot of characters.
