Sometimes setting a life goal for your character will help you to make certain choices more naturally for them.
@RPers, what are your character’s life goals?
Have you ever though about their life goals?
For those who find it difficult, we have an Amazing thread to help you as well?
Hedley - Never sit still for too long. Don’t let anyone or anything hold them back.
Kenzy - To surpass expectations from every angle you can imagine.
Vanda - To be a powerful and famous filmmaker that everyone idolises. No eggs or tomatoes will be thrown at hir.
Xandy - To live in a modern but cosy house. One that doesn’t have icky creepy crawlies or things that could potentially scare them (like ghosts?). Xe is very easily scared.
My only char rn is Chailai 
Chailai - Her goal is mainly to be happy, even though her demeanor suggests otherwise. She’s cold and secretive but lonely and filled with anger. Her mental state isn’t the best and she believes once she achieves closure, all is solved. However, nobody knows what exact closure she hopes to achieve or how she plans on getting it. She’s willing to do basically anything to get what she wants with few restrictions. On a lesser note, she will aid others achieve common goals and protect others from injustice.
Aurian:
For Aurian, he wants the power, popularity, and control that comes with being king. It helps fill that void of having spent most of his life in an orphanage having no idea who his family really was, and feeling completely helpless and less than.
Kalina:
Her goals are simple, to have a life where she can be happy and at peace with those she loves. She wants more than anything to never have to worry again about losing the people she loves. A happy life with the man she loves by her side and the opportunity to have kids and watch them grow up.
Phoenix:
His biggest life goal, to protect those he loves. Kalina, his mother, his friends. He’d do anything to make sure they’re safe.
Second, to take back his peoples’ freedom, so they can live the life they deserve and bring back their culture.
