What your character says, what they do, how they react, etc. in certain situations is all based on who that character is. I personally have an easier time writing a scene when I have a good sense of the different characters, both who each character is and who is "in the room" during that scene.

A while ago, I created a little character development template for myself, that I thought I would share with you. You can find it here. (You can either print the document, download it, or create a copy to use on Google Docs.)

I like to print the pages off, handwrite my notes, and put them in a binder. This makes them easy to add too and flip through the different characters. But you can do it all on your computer if you want.
