Don?t use the character?s name. It?s a waste of word count, because it doesn?t tell us anything about the character, and unless it?s an existing IP the reader has no prior connection. Instead, use FLAW and FUNCTION (eg. vapid student). This tells us the inner arc of the character as well as who they are in relation to the world they inhabit.
