My character is a rising teenage archaeologist. I find that she wants to fly to Mars and dig out the entire Mariner Valley! Yet I do not want to bog her down with too much detail. At the same time, not enough detail will make her hollow. Any hints on balance?
My balance comes after tons of rounds of editing - my characters tend to lack depth and emotion the first time around. Your story sounds really interesting though! So I bet the depth will come ;)
