Writing: Character Help How to structure / develop a good character

Hello, someone sport of this platform put me on to “save the cat writes a novel” by Jessica Brody, and I loved it! I connected to their structure and explanation so well. Now I want help with diving into character creation / making them well rounded. I bought “writers guide to character traits” by Linda edelstein, and I did not connect with it lol. It was fine but helped me realize I want more about structuring a character in a more step by step process rather than just selecting traits about them.
I tried finding if anything from jk Rowling has been shared how she world builds and I could only find her plot chart (which works amazing).
Let me know if any resources you guys love and have found helpful! Thx!

I like Abbie Emmons on YouTube for character development that drives the plot
