1. Write in English. Editions made in other languages will be reversed/undone and you'll receive a warning from an admin if you insist on adding information not in English.

2. Own opinions are not allowed. Your own POV of a character belongs in your userpage, blog, or the talk page/comments of the article. Don't add biased descriptions and words, except for general noticeable traits of characters, or it has been stated by an official source.

This is how we organize character articles into different sections to cover as much about them as possible. Please, make sure the sections in the article you're editing stay in this order.

Article body

A couple opening sequences to introduce the character to any visitors. Mention if they're protagonists, antagonists, minor characters, etc.

  • Relationships

Do they have any rivals? Friends? What do they think of others and vice versa? Write about this here, using a smaller header for each individual character (unless their interactions with a group of characters are exactly the same and can be grouped into one).

  • Gallery

  • Quotes

Any remarkable statements they've made? Preferably those that help the reader get an even clearer view of their character/personality.
