They say you should write every day, but sometimes a functional writing process looks like writing 1k in a sitting because you're getting a head of yourself, writing 500 words because you had a chapter to wrap up, writing 50 words because you felt too sad to write, writing no words because the state of the world overcame you for a few days, writing 1.5k because sometimes ennui turns into fury and purpose, and then 700 the next day because you remembered that there was a cool scene you wanted to get around to and—

How to Write a Servant Character for a Fiction Novel
Tumblr media
Introduction
Servant characters are often overlooked in fiction, but they have the potential to be just as compelling and multifaceted as any other character. A well-crafted servant character can add depth and richness to a story, captivating readers and even becoming fan favorites. In this blog, I'll help you explore some valuable tips to guide you in creating a remarkable servant character for your fiction novel.
Give your servant character a backstory
Servants frequently possess fascinating and intricate backstories that can enhance their overall character development. Delve into their childhood experiences, their familial background, or their lives before assuming the role of a servant. By incorporating these details, you will provide your servant character with a rich foundation, enabling readers to better understand their motivations, actions, and perspectives.
Cultivate a unique personality for your servant character
While some portray servants as faceless drones, it is crucial to remember that they are individuals with distinct personalities, quirks, and idiosyncrasies. Infusing your servant character with these distinct traits will make them more relatable to readers and help them stand out in a memorable way. Whether it's a sarcastic wit, a heartfelt kindness, or an obsessive attention to detail, embrace these nuances to create a servant character that resonates with your audience.
Empower your servant character with a purpose
A servant should not merely exist to serve the main character. Instead, give them their own goals, dreams, and motivations. By granting your servant character a sense of purpose, you open up the opportunity for intriguing plot arcs and character development. This distinct drive will make them more captivating and engaging, elevating them beyond the realm of a one-dimensional side character.
Embrace the flaws of your servant character
Perfection is neither realistic nor relatable, even for a servant character. Embrace their flaws and vulnerabilities to make them more authentic and human. Whether they struggle with self-doubt, have a quick temper, or battle with personal insecurities, these imperfections will add depth to your servant character. By allowing readers to see their flaws, you create opportunities for growth and relatability, forging a stronger connection between the reader and the character.
Conclusion
Servant characters hold immense potential for enriching the tapestry of any fiction novel. By implementing these techniques, you can craft a servant character that resonates with readers, leaving a lasting impression. Remember to consider the historical context, conduct thorough research, and, most importantly, embrace your creativity throughout the process. With these tools in hand, you are well-equipped to create a servant character that is complex, interesting, and unforgettable.
Additional Tips
Consider the historical context:
Different societies throughout history have attributed varying roles and significance to servants. Acknowledge these historical nuances when crafting your servant character to ensure authenticity and accurate representation.
Conduct thorough research:
Avail yourself of the wealth of resources available to deepen your understanding of the historical and cultural aspects surrounding servant characters. This research will enable you to infuse authenticity and believability into your writing.
Unleash your creativity:
When it comes to creating servant characters, there are no rigid rules. Embrace your creativity, allowing your imagination to flourish and have fun exploring the possibilities. Push the boundaries of conventional expectations to develop truly exceptional servant characters.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly people can bust out a one shot or story in this fandom😅
It's been like 15 hours and there are already five stories up.
It's like, I want to try my hand at exploring things from Lucy's POV and put a different spin on things, but I need time to properly do this and I'm always nervous my story or ideas will be too similar to someone elses.
And I know there's room for all of us here, and everyone's stories will be slightly different. But I think it's harder for me not to compare myself when so many others are writing the same things.

As a creative, sometimes finding a typo in someone else's work is a relief. Like oh, thank the gods, we are not the only person who keeps typing "if" instead of "of."
