Are character flaws in creative writing important? When writing a story, I think it's important to make the protagonist with flaws. After all. no one is perfect even in a story.
It is important that the reader can "relate" to the protagonist. Bad habits, conceit, jealousy, miserliness we all have some of those flaws.
The more "real" the more interesting the character is and believable in the story. A goody-goody can be very boring and unforgettable while a mean or jealous character can become quite interesting.
That's why I like to mix real people's traits into my stories- they are more believable and can be easily related to.
That's why Nora in The Magic Herb- you feel sorry for her. Her struggles and dilemmas that she faces along with the heartbreak are all things
