Creating Three whys for Side Characters

Creating three 'whys' for side characters involves understanding their relation to the protagonist, their individual goals, and their purpose in each scene. The first 'why' explores how the side character interacts with the protagonist, either supporting or hindering them. The second 'why' delves into the side character's personal life and motivations, which have implications on the plot or protagonist. The third 'why' focuses on the specific function of the side character in each scene, whether they bring information, create conflict, support, or question the protagonist.
