Another character question! This time from Ariana.

What do you do when you dislike one of your main protagonists, or have fallen out of love with them– partly because they’re based on yourself? I’ve often considered the answer that maybe it’s not wise to base a character on yourself in the first place, seeing as the average person (young person especially) doesn’t know himself very well– however. I’ve been working with this story and these characters for a couple years, and I’m not ready to throw her out entirely. What can I do to make this character interesting again?
