01

Set the story boundary

Name the character and text, or paste your own notes. Specify chapters or scenes if spoilers matter.

Separate traits from relationships

Ask for branches that distinguish personality, goals, relationships, and evidence from the story.

Test the interpretation

Review each claim against a passage or scene. Ask to relabel speculative motives and add missing conflicts.

What belongs in a character web?

A character web collects what someone wants, how they behave, and who affects their choices. It can center on one character or show relationships across a cast, depending on the question you want to answer.

Use a web to explain behavior

Writers can test whether a choice follows from a character's motives. Readers can connect an interpretation to scenes instead of assembling an unsupported list of adjectives.

Make character claims traceable

  1. Choose a center. Decide whether the web studies one person or a cast before expanding it.
  2. Label the connection. Friend, rival, dependent, and deceiver describe different relationships.
  3. Attach evidence. Keep a scene reference or supplied quotation near important interpretations.
  4. Separate desire from action. What a character wants may differ from what they actually do.
  5. Respect the story stage. A relationship at the opening may look very different by the ending.

A character study on the canvas

MyMap organizes your story description into connected ideas. The Hamlet example is a single-character mind map with physical traits, personality, relationships, and motivations; it does not show every character as a separate node.

Common questions

Is a character web only about relationships?

No. A single-character web can include traits, motivations, behavior, and relationships. Specify a cast relationship map if connections between people are your main focus.

What does the Hamlet example show?

It groups Hamlet's physical traits, personality, relationships, and motivations around his name. Treat its interpretations as starting points for discussion.

Can I use this for an unfinished story?

Yes. Describe your cast and the conflicts you have planned. Ask the web to keep established facts separate from ideas you are still considering.
