The best advice I give is simply watching the show. I think it’s easy to learn the character’s tendencies and worldviews and then asking yourself, “Based on what I think about X, how would they respond to Y?”

I also think that there’s room for subverting expectations that people have about characters, just as long as it doesn’t completely contradict their basic structure. For a good example of this, refer to Lola winning a burping contest in “Come Sale Away”. That feat doesn’t detract the “pink princess brat” mold from her but it probably took first time viewers for a loop because they probably wouldn’t associate Lola with something like that.
