Music from most genres, of course, has a wonderful way of reflecting different moods. Songs contain different meanings for people. So how do your characters show their moods? Is it in their preferred music choices? Are these all on the gloomy side or more positive and is the character deliberately reflecting themselves here or rebelling against it? Perhaps the most cheerful soul likes sad music to show that he/she is capable of that deeper feeling and doesn't always appreciate being seen as the class clown?
How do your characters get across their real meaning to others? We don't always speak directly. We try to be diplomatic or to spare others feelings so do your characters do that too? And then we have those who know us far too well for us to be able to get away with that kind of thing and can detect our real moods and meanings when others cannot. Who does that for your lead characters and how do they handle this? Are they glad someone really knows them like that or always worried that same someone will blurt out uncomfortable truths at an awkward moment (it always is an awkward moment of course!)?
