"A good character is also a character that you understand. Knowing your characters well allows you to construct believable reactions to conflicts faced in the story. These reactions are what will move your audience through the story. To engage your audience, you need a fully developed character." pg 99

Like another quote i researched earlier, I think you need to know your character really well to create realistic reactions. This quote suggests that the audience needs to understand the characetr to understand the story. If the character isn't right or believable then it can affect the whole animatiuon and make the sotry unbelievable too.

Looking further into how personalities develop the look of the character I learned that you need to focus on the personality a bit more, not just what he or she likes but what makes them like somehting or makes them angry.
