Description

“Backgrounds distract the reader from what’s going on inside the character. Whenever I leave backgrounds out, this is to allow my readers to see the heart of the character.” --Tite Kubo

You know, this is something that I've been pondering since I saw you post it the other day.
To an extent it's true - you don't need a background to have a good character.
A background is like any other story tool, it can help build the character - but it needs to be done in such a way that shows how the character has either grown from the experience, or hurt by it.
