    I don't use character sheets but I do create a quick reference sheet for myself and give every character a paragraph (if only for continuity's sake). Here are the headers I fill in for each character:

    1. Wants
    2. Identity/Essence (i.e. what people believe he/she is/what they really are deep down)
    3. Fears/Conflicts/Obstacles
    4. Physical Attributes
    5. Story Arc (how they change, what they learn, if they fail/succeed) ***

    *** So glad that I remembered this last one as it has saved me time and time again from creating two-dimensional characters (and I am currently procrastinating the planning of my next project) Each character should operate as if they are the focus of the story.
