Character Worldview

Character Worldview is a set of beliefs and assumptions that a character holds about the world, which shapes their decisions and reactions in a story. In story design, designers can use visual cues like color choices, posture, and clothing style to show a character's worldview without using words. For example, a character who believes in order might have a very neat appearance and symmetrical surroundings. These visual choices help the audience quickly understand how the character sees the world, making the story clearer and more engaging.
