                     Now that you have a plan for your digital story, it's time for one of the most fun parts i.e.,

                     thinking of your characters and story. Brainstorming is when you think of lots of ideas to
                     solve a problem or make something, without worrying if they’re good or bad.

                     BRAINSTORM YOUR CHARACTERS

                     Your characters are the stars of your story. They help make the story interesting and fun.
                     To create the characters for your story you must think of the following questions:

                       Who are your main characters? Think about their personalities.
                        What do they look like? Describe their appearance. Are they big, small, funny, or serious?

                        What do they want? Every character should have a goal or something they desire. This
                       goal will drive your story forward.

                                                                                                     Digital Storytelling  89
