There Are Four Components To A Book or Screenplay

A.) Concept

B.) Plot And Structure

C.) Scenes

D.) Characters

Book Character Development4. The Romance: This is the character the lead 
      wants to get into bed with, part of his outer motivation, a sub-goal. The
      Romance character must be supportive of the hero and his goal. But 
      then they must have a falling out, maybe over the way he's going about it, 
      or a lack thereof, some sort of boy-girl conflict. 
They start off maybe neutral, then they want to be 
      together and share in the same outer motivation, but then something goes 
      wrong and they split up. Finally, in the end, they get back together, and 
      are again on the same wave length with the outer motivation.
To be a Romance character, the lead has to fall in love. 
      If that happens, then you must make the audience fall in love too, or at 
      least relate to the lead's reasons. A prime example of utter 
      failure in this regard is Cobra (1986) where Lt. Cobretti (Sylvester 
      Stallone) is supposed to fall in love with Ingrid (Brigitte Nielsen), but 
      there is literally no chemistry whatsoever (even though in real 
      life they were dating hot and heavy at the time). The thing just is 
      embarrassing to watch. You can't have the lead looking like a mindless, 
      wayward idiot over some air head, or whatever.
There's a difference between sexual attraction and love 
      versus romance. 
For creating main characters, there are actual 
      rules that must be followed.
