The main character is a 16 year old girl about to be 17, and her daughter Alondra Melody A.K. The mother has a boyfriend named Curtis and they are in a better realtionship than her and the baby's father are, and Curtis sees Alondra as his own daughter. (later on in the story Alondra dies due to high fever and shortage of oxygen) But I want a conflict to happen in between now (they just had a lunch date and played a game of b-ball and when Alondra dies.
What would you do?

Take your main character and imagine then in some odd place or scenario which you have not tried yet – anything goes! Write down ideas on what would have to happen to your character or how they would react to the scenario you placed them in.
You can do this for multiple characters if you have them.
This may seem futile, but it will help you flesh out furthur character traits and give you insight into what you may want to happen to this type of character in a potential story. You may even come up with multiple story lines!
Strong well crafted main characters can inspire readers to love your story as well as drive you to write a great story for these imagined beings to be in! :-)
