I was never a big believer in writing out character biographies until I received feedback from an editor about a character who just popped up in my novel for no apparent reason. This Marty character probably needed to serve some purpose and I just threw her in to see what would stick. My editor was right and that character now has more of a backstory that explains her presence. My biographical experiment turned into a short story about the main female character in the novel. Now Marty has an explanation, even if it's within the context of a primary character's backstory.
