The character is a horrible mentally unstable person. However, the character is also creative and smart. Creating this character was not easy. But I had an idea for a character of evil and mystery, which is why I created this character. When creating an evil character, I have to take into consideration the different mental states that this person could have. It is obvious that a person who likes killing others is not right in their mind but there can be so many reasons why they are like this. I like to create a backstory in my mind that allows me to understand where my character comes from and what kind of responses the character may have as a result of their backstory. Creating a killer is not for everyone, that is for sure. But in any kind of character whether evil or not, we should take the time to create a backstory even if we do not use it in the story we are writing in order to write the character the best. It is just something that I do.
