Many of your characters have specific personality traits. Some may even have personality disorders or be physically handicapped. Research the behaviors people with these traits/disorders exhibit and blog about your findings. Be sure to include the URL addresses that you used in your research.

Characters often have different personality quirks that make them unique and interesting to the audience, as well as to make the characters feel like they have believable emotions. Personality disorders, as well as handicaps can have a similar effect. A character in our final film will exhibit anger issues. This character is the villain, so this trait is being used to add to her need to be intimidating to the audience, as well as to the other characters in the film.

Bad anger issues officially fall under the condition (IED), Intermittent explosive disorder. This disorder is typically characterized by impulsiveness, hostility and outbursts. People who have IED have been known to report outbursts relax them, yet make them feel embarrassed. Not all people with IED exhibit this, however. In addition to exhibiting IED, the character will also be impatient and brash. This will further exemplify the anger issues.
