DA. I do this too, maybe minus a lot of their appearance beyond basics. Something like, I need someone small and scrappy and way too stubborn, with a strong moralistic streak, and I want them put in a situation where the only way out is to do something bad to somebody. I want (one of) their opponents to be vicious and cruel but genuinely fighting for their life. I want a moment of detente where they have to interact with each other without immediate violence. Then I'll start that, I'll start writing (I usually do start in medias res, it's easier for me), and then I'll start throwing in reasons and rationales for what they're doing as I go, bits of backstory for why they're reacting certain ways, and letting the characters build in reaction to each other as I go.

It does sometimes mean that I end up with multiple versions of the same story in my head, where the characters developed one way or another, or because one bit of the situation caught my attention so I pulled it out and to the side to develop differently in another story. Things like that. I sometimes get several significantly different stories out of the exact same initial scenario and character build, by tweaking or changing bits and pieces of the evolving reactions and situation.
