Introduction
Emotional intelligence is a character's ability to recognize, understand and manage his or her own emotions and those of others. This trait is crucial to creating characters who are able to interact effectively with their environment and with other characters. A character with high emotional intelligence will be adept at resolving conflicts, building strong relationships, and dealing with stressful situations calmly.
Emotional intelligence can be combined with other characteristics such as personality and interpersonal relationships to create deep and realistic characters. Conversely, a character with low emotional intelligence could generate conflict and misunderstanding, enriching the plot.
