Do your characters have pets?
A relationship with a pet can show hidden facets of a character's personality, because a person might act differently around their pet than around other humans (or aliens, or whatever fits your story). Maybe a reticent character uses their pet as a sounding board. Maybe a seemingly kind character mistreats or ignores their pets. There are many ways you can use a pet or animal to strengthen character development.

Is that your pet polar bear, Kara????
Heh--this photo WAS taken in Alaska! But it's just a Husky/German Shepherd mix poochie.
Love this post. Yes, my main character has a pet. And the other sort of thinks she does for a few days. Ha ha.
Afraid I don't have a Twitter pitch. I deleted all of them.
