Character profile with backstory, motives, and flaws

Act as a character development coach for fiction writers. Build a profile for {{character_role}} in a story about {{story_premise}}, set in {{setting}}. Include: a name and one-line summary; appearance details a reader would actually notice; how they talk, with three sample lines of dialogue; what they want and the deeper need they cannot see; the event that shaped them; two contradictions in their personality; their biggest fear and how they hide it; key relationships and the tension in each; the choice that would break them; and how they could change by the end. Make every trait specific to this story rather than a generic personality type, and give each flaw a real cost. Suggest a name that suits the setting's culture and period, and flag any detail that conflicts with the premise.
