Okay, I'm positive that I do this differently from most of the other writers here, but I honest-to-God don't write any short character profiles (or, God forbid, the actual profiles themselves) until I've finished drafting the season. I have a general idea of how the characters act and what they value before I start drafting, but that's about as in-depth as I go. I like doing it this way because it gives me more freedom with how the characters can act so I can flesh characters out as I go.

For example, I wrote the Mauritius cast profiles after the finale episode of Gilbert Islands was finished and uploaded on this wiki. I have yet to write cast profiles for Trinidad, Taiwan, and Season 5 in my series. When I actually DO write the cast profiles, though, I usually have a good enough idea of each character to just go straight into it. It also gives me a chance to add little details to the characters that might not be as crucial to the story, but make them seem more real/more rootable. Hope this helps!
