Naive is what is or seems to be natural, individual, or classical to the point of irony, or else to the point of continuously fluctuating between self-creation and self-destruction. If it's simply instinctive, then it's childlike, childish, or silly; if it's merely intentional, then it gives rise to affectation. The beautiful, poetical, ideal naive must combine intention and instinct.
Friedrich Schlegel, Athenaeum Fragments

Short-Term Intentions - Why Is This Character Here?
A lot of the time our characters, especially non-POV characters, can feel rather flat and like they’re only in a scene for the purpose of furthering the plot rather than being their own person. One way to approach this would be short-term intentions and long-term motivations
Most writers know to give every character a long-term motivation to wish to achieve within the overarching story or at least some day in the future, but even in just ordinary scenes your characters should all have their own short-term intentions that they’re looking to accomplish by the end of the scene, and sometimes there can be multiple short-term intentions they have
So what would one of these short-term intentions look like? Well let’s say that Character A broke Character B’s favourite cup; Character A doesn’t want Character B finding out, so their intention is to not get in trouble and keep themself from getting suspected. Character B, on the other hand, secretly knows that Character A broke their cup and is just trying to get them to confess on their own terms, so their intention would be to get Character A to admit it without letting on that they already know they did it
Character A could act on their intention by playing dumb, getting defensive, feigning being upset at being accused, trying to leave, making up a lie to varying success, etc. Character B could act on their intention by repeatedly asking questions that prompt further elaborate lies to be created, acting sad to try and guilt a confession, acting super mad to scare a confession, pretending they don’t care, blaming an innocent third party, etc
It becomes so much easier to write a character when you know what they want out of this scene or interaction, even just on an inconsequential filler scale
