About character development.....

I'm kinda curious, how do you define a character in fiction "average" or "developed"?

For example, if somehow an Im@s fiction revealing Haruka/Uzuki (which most fans tend to accuse them for being one dimensional character (I'm sorry if this statement was "wrong" it's hard to find additional missing info from the wiki in English because lack of popularity on the franchise.....)) backstory, showing their hidden characteristic (and probably changing their personality in certain situation), does Haruka/Uzuki become well-rounded/developed character?

Kinda wish moment like this happen later in the PS4 game

Okayu:
Haruka already has her backstory revealed.  ::)

animagic4u:
I think in order to make a well rounded character you have to show (not tell) what a character will do when confronted with a situation and back it up with why they would do it (this part may not be explicitly told to readers/viewers).

As a HarukaP, I don't see Haruka as a one-dimensional character. It's fun watching her in many different situations (communications) and hearing what she thinks about all of the things that happen to her on a daily basis.
I also don't feel like not having an interesting backstory makes for a weak character. See: Aikatsu.

MetalPredat0r:
With characters, I think having a great backstory helps, and as animagic said, having characters reacting to certain situations also helps. Essentially, I want more than just "here's an idol, this is her gimmick, there ya go".

One big example for me is Miku Maekawa from Cinderella Girls. When she was first introduced, she was just a stereotypical anime cat girl that you see everywhere else. Then the anime came out and showed her jealousy and need to improve herself and then she suddenly became a developed character.

That's why my favorite iM@S characters are Main World 765 + Million Stars due to having more than just a pretty face and a silly gimmick.  They have defined personalities and some even have major backstories that drive them such as Chihaya, Makoto, Shiho, and Momoko.

Thanks for the input so far :)

Do you mind elaborate this and why the Aikatsu was spoliered?
