When a character is "alive" on the page, they are real people. I loved Anna Karenina. I loved Una in Ahab's Wife by Naslund. Creating a character that breathes with the reader is a challenge. I have to live with my characters so they become real people: I eat what they eat and talk like them, dress like them, think as they do.
