Character Growth
Dramatica's Main Character Growth (Stop/Start) differs depending on the MC Resolve.
For CHANGE Main Characters, the growth is seen to be internal--that's why the MC changes. A STOP change character's growth comes from stopping a behavior, growing out of it so to speak. A START change character's growth comes from starting a behavior, growing into it so to speak. That's why a stop character seems to have a chip on his/her shoulder, while a start character seems to have a hole in his/her heart.
For STEADFAST Main Characters, the growth is more directly tied to the external. A STOP steadfast character's growth comes from holding out for something external to stop. A START steadfast character's growth comes from holding out for something to begin. That's why a stop steadfast character seems to suffering a barrage of bad events, while a start steadfast character seems to hanging out waiting for something good to happen to them.
