53	TRUTH
54	(Who they actually are)
55	```
56
57	Identity - How they see themselves and want to be seen
58	Past - Experiences that shaped their psychology
59	Desire - What they consciously want (external goal)
60	Truth - Who they really are / what they really need (internal need)
61	Center Conflict - The tension between all four points drives character
62
63	### Need vs. Want
64
65	\| Want (External) \| Need (Internal) \|
66	\|-----------------\|-----------------\|
67	\| The goal they're pursuing \| The growth they require \|
68	\| What they think will make them happy \| What will actually fulfill them \|
69	\| Drives the plot \| Drives the arc \|
70	\| Character is aware of this \| Character is often blind to this \|
71	\| May or may not achieve \| Must achieve (or tragically fail to) \|
72
73	Example:
74	- Want: The detective wants to catch the killer
75	- Need: The detective needs to forgive herself for failing to save her sister

91	Wound: The painful event that shaped them
92	Lie: The false belief they adopted to cope
93	Fear: What they're terrified will happen again
94	Flaw: How the lie manifests in behavior
95	Ghost: The memory/person that represents the wound
96
97	Example:
98	- Wound: Abandoned by father at age 7
99	- Lie: "I'm not worthy of love"
100	- Fear: Being abandoned again
101	- Flaw: Pushes people away before they can leave
