Oh, we're going there. Allow me to break down a number of varied character arcs to really explore them beyond the convention of 'development'. Spoiler warning in the video.

K.M. Weiland has talked about static/flat arcs here (and has published a book on them in general even): https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/character-arcs-1/
