The hardest thing about creating a character, is making them seem real.
For instance, if your character is too perfect, your readers will get bored.
Say your character is dangling off a cliff. if she/he doesn't have any fears or flaws, no one will bother to turn the page. There is no question that they will survive. If the character in question is less than perfect, readers will get worried when there is a dangerous situation.
So rememeber, even if it would be easiar to make your character perfect, no one will like them.
Perfect people always seem arogant to us normal folks!
