A bit of writing advice I was given once is that the single most integral thing you have to know about your character is what they really, truly, want in life. There's always something, no matter how powerful a character may be, how wealthy, or how established in their field, career, personal relationships, or family. A character who has no want is dead on the page, merely a supporting character in someone else's story.
So. What's your character want?
Hmm…what would Meredith want? Well, Meredith would really want everyone to just bloody get along and stop the drama. In LA where she’s at, the place is just full of drama, people breaking up and getting together, people all pissed off at each other, with a little bit of an angry Power that Be on the side that kinda wants to kill them all.
Can’t we just all get along, people?
