Character Relationship Web
Map relationships, tension and subtext for an ensemble.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Map the relationships in my ensemble. Characters with a line on each: [CHARACTERS]. Setting or situation that binds them: [SITUATION]. Main plotline: [PLOT]. Create a relationship table with each pair: nature of the relationship, what each wants from the other, what each hides, a source of friction, a shared memory, and how it changes by the end. Identify the three most productive tensions for the plot and three pairs with weak or missing relationships. Suggest scenes that put the strongest tensions in a room together, with a line of subtext for each. Add a diagram described in text, with arrows and labels. Flag characters that serve only a function and suggest how to give them wants of their own. Include a list of three relationships that could change roles during the story (friend to rival, mentor to obstacle), with the scene that triggers the change. Add a short test: remove one character and say what the plot loses; if the answer is nothing, suggest merging that character with another. Present the final web as a compact table of the ten strongest pairings.

Pairings (strongest first) 1. Inés and Tomás (sisters): she wants him to take responsibility for their father's care; he wants her approval. Hidden: Tomás sold their mother's ring. Friction: money. Change: she learns the sale paid for medication. 2. Tomás and Pavel (employer): wants a loan; Pavel wants loyalty. Subtext: Pavel knows about the ring. 3. Inés and Dr. Okoye: professional trust that turns personal. Weak link: Dr. Okoye and Pavel have no relationship; suggest a shared history. Productive scene: all three at the father's birthday dinner, with the ring on the table. Test: remove Pavel and the plot loses its leverage on Tomás, so he stays.
