Great stories are often about great characters. To get a feeling of what a character I am creating is all about, I like to make a collage from old magazines and newspapers.
Find pictures of things like: how they might look; the car they might drive; the sister they might have; the food they might like to eat; and so on.

The point is to feel that you know your character as if they were a real person.
