I mean, don't new characters have to work their way into the plot, set up new arcs and stuff like that? I mean, I've kinda mapped out a hierarchy of sorts and stuff.

Well, yes I suppose most do. Some people make characters already involved in an ongoing plot, some make ones that eventually get involved. I'd say Valentina is already involved by being in Haywood.

I don't know what you mean by hierarchy.
