Tip: Anna *3 gives Anna three chances.

🖼️ Photos

Add pictures of people, pets or things. Each photo takes its file's name (ava.jpg becomes "Ava") and appears in every game. Photos stay on this device and are not in share links.

    Tip: start a name with an emoji, like 🍕 Pizza, for a picture without a photo.

      Ways to use this list

      • Character building: spin one positive, one neutral and one negative trait, then write a scene in which all three show up at once.
      • Drama class: each actor spins a trait and plays an ordinary moment, like queueing for lunch, in that personality while the others guess it.
      • Vocabulary work for older primary pupils: spin a trait, define it in your own words, and find a character in the class reader who has it.
      • Role-playing games: give every minor character one spun trait, so the shopkeeper is suspicious and the gatekeeper is nostalgic.
      • Fixing a flat draft: spin a trait for your main character and rewrite one page as if they had always been that way.

      Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

      Questions people ask

      How many personality traits should a character have?

      Three to five strong ones are plenty for most stories. One that drives them, one that gets them into trouble and one that surprises the reader is a good recipe.

      What is the difference between a trait and a flaw?

      A trait is any lasting part of a personality, good or bad. A flaw is a trait that causes real problems. The character flaw generator has longer, story-ready flaws.

      Can I spin a random mix of good and bad traits?

      Set Winners to 3 with the full list for a surprise mix, or press Positive and then Negative and spin each once for a balanced pair.

      Is this a personality test?

      No, it measures nothing about you. It is a creative tool for characters in stories, drama and games, picking traits at random to spark ideas you might not reach on your own.

      How do I show a character trait instead of just naming it?

      Let actions do the work. Rather than writing that Sam is generous, show him handing over the last biscuit when he is hungry himself. A trait that costs the character something is the one readers remember.
