Question

What are three things necessary for a change in character to be believable?

Answer 1

The three things necessary for a change in character to be believable are the following:

-It’s slow (gradual).

-It’s not linear.

-It’s complete.

A change arc in a character has to have a setup, a reaction and a counter-reaction/conclusion; these stages are gradual and end with a more round character, in a conclusive way that is satisfactory in the sense that the change was complete.
