{{t|character}}
This is a guide to the suggested structure for Coppermind articles describing a character. Some character articles may omit one or more of these sections if inadequate information is available. Looking at existing articles to get a sense of a useful structure is always a good idea.
== Infobox ==
All character pages should have an infobox, typically <nowiki>{{character}}</nowiki>; see [[Template:Character]] for documentation.
==
Both images and brief quotes from the text are particularly useful for character articles since they can give the reader a better sense of the character's personality. The infobox should include an image (if one is available) and additional images and quotes can be included in the relevant sections of the article. See [[Help:Images]] and [[Help:Templates#Other Templates]] for more information.
This section should contain a detailed description and their temperament.▼
==
The introduction is meant to be a general overview of who the character is, and should be no more than a few paragraphs long (in many cases, it may only be a few sentences). Keep in mind that articles should be factual and written from an in-world perspective.
<pre>=== Period (date range) ==</pre>▼
== Appearance and Personality ==
▲This section should contain a detailed physical description
== Attributes and Abilities ==
This section should list the character's skills, knowledge, and abilities, particularly any magical/superhuman abilities. Note that it is not necessary to go into extreme depth about a magical ability if it is covered in a separate article; using a <nowiki>{{for}}</nowiki> template may be helpful.
== History ==
This section, usually the longest part of the article, should describe the entire known life of the character. For readability, it should be divided logically into subsections (using date ranges, if available), e.g:
▲<pre>=== Period 1 (date range) ===</pre>
<pre>=== Period 2 (date range) ===</pre>
== Relationships ==
Descriptions of the article subject's relationships with key characters or groups, particularly those that have a notable effect on the subject's personality or story arc.
== Trivia ==
Out of universe facts,
== See Also ==
Links to other
== Notes ==
The notes section should first list <references /> then include the book navbox and any other extra categories (though we prefer these to be tags listed in one part of the infobox). Just prior to the navbar there
