"I know not everybody analyzes them in this way. But I think any writer should be able to construct a realistic set of reactions and personality changes based on any given event. That's what you're doing when writing a story, after all? So why is it suddenly impossible when applied to a specific character?"
is not true! like i said before, challenging yourself is cardinal to improving as a writer. if you write a certain event in which your character changes in some way, then that's cool, but i wouldn't force it.
let me give you an example. i have a character who's an android but who is programmed to learn, rather than to already know. this makes him more human than other androids in his era. he's very close to a person who happens to be human. i currently can't decide what fate i like best for them (i have a few brainstormed) so i like to flesh out each one just to see where it takes my characters and their story. in a few of these futures, when the human dies, the android's personality changes drastically. this is a conditional change that feels natural. it's his response to losing a friend. i didn't force it, it's just what feels right when i place myself in his shoes. so i don't think i'm limiting myself at all by just considering scenarios that feel like, hey, this is how my character would react or become.
people replying to me don't seem to understand that when i say i change my characters often, i mean it. i'm not limited by my lack of desire to change a character unnecessarily.
