So, that’s a pretty long list of traits to choose from. But without further ado! Behold, the big ol’ list of complementary character traits: You’ll find some tips for incorporating these qualities into your characters beneath the cut. The qualities on the left side of the list were taken from The Positive Trait Thesarus by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi (but that doesn’t mean that those on the right are definitively positive or negative). The dictionary defines complementary as “combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of each other or another”, so that’s how I’m interpreting this. So these are definitely a bit of a challenge to come up with someimtes it’s hard to figure out which ones would go well together without creating too much conflict between your characters. I was out for about a week longer than I initially said and I really appreciate it. Hey Nony! Before I start, thanks so much for your patience with me. Could you please write up a list of character traits that compliment each other? Like for romantic relationships? Thank you.
