There was an old insurance company advert in the UK years ago with the strapline "not making a drama out of a crisis" and this ran for many years. So do your characters manage to do this? Can they rise above anything that is thrown at them and deal with the crisis sensibly? Or do they fall apart and need the help of others to recover? Or do the dramas hit them hard but, with time and assistance, they get through it all and learn not to react so badly another time?
Stories are a form of travel journal in a way. Each story shows how a character has something happen to them and how they react to it and what happens as a result of that reaction. Sometimes the event and/or reaction is positive, other times not. But the story is in the character development as they come to terms with what has happened and, as with us all, some characters will handle this better than others.
So how do your characters react? Do they temper that reaction depending on who they are with? (We've all wanted to save face in front of someone we care about or who we feel might react badly if we react badly to a situation). What is behind that reaction - previous experience of the situation, how they know other characters have reacted or what they know is expected of them by family, friends, the society they are in?
Lots of story ideas to be had there I think!
