Human brain likes familiarity. It's our hardwiring that makes tropes persist. Everything has been done before. Free yourself by stopping worrying about tropes and cliches and what other people think about. Opinions are still like butts on current year, everyone has one.Â
Since I like stories, I usually focus as much into the framaework of the story I'd like to be my character's story as I focus on the character itself. If that makes sense. Just remember the basics.

You can't please everyone, but never forget that you are your no. 1 priority.

"If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall,Â
in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off.Â
If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there."
