A properly fleshed out character needs more than eye and hair color, backstory, and a cool ancestral weapon. No, to read as fully human a character needs hopes, dreams, and aspirations. A pampered young aristocrat, with their life planned out for them generations in advance might long for adventure and wandering, but for most characters (if they don't have one yet) there is a longing for a home of their own. A place in the world customized to their needs. This is exemplified in the trending #MyDreamHouseHas. Everyone (or nearly so) wants a place or a situation to call their own. For more nomadic types this urge can be fulfilled by a group of people, or a general geographical area but the urge is there in all, a primal need for territory.
So what sort of dream home is your character looking for?
