What causes us to fall head-over-heels in LOVE with a main character? Is it something about their personality, their chemistry with the supporting characters, or how "perfectly heroic" they are? We've asked ourselves this question many, many times, and we believe the answer is just the opposite: it's not about how "perfect" your character is...it's actually about how flawed, human, and relatable your they are. THAT is the secret ingredient that keeps us coming back for more, and that's what we're breaking down in this special Story Mining episode of the show: how to craft flawed heroes your audience will fall in love with!
