I want to say that the author uses Character A's "character development" to explore Character B.
In other words, the author builds on the personality of A to exemplify the nature of B.
What is another word that replaces "character development" in the context above?

Hm, good question. Since you stated that one character’s development can explore another, then there is a synthesis, some symbiosis. I am not in reach of a dictionary, but if I could give an opinion instead of a real word in this case, I would say “commetamorphous†or “commetamorphicityâ€
The Latin prefix cum + Greek meta + Greek morphē
cum = with (this prefix implies more than one)
meta = after (this prefix implies a timescale)
morphē = shape, form, appearance
An obvious example is metamorphosis, which implies a change of form.
The only addition is cum which, by some laws of language I forget, changes to com- in the prefix. We now have a word to denote a change together (character α & β), thus they develop together.
In this case I would define as such:
Commetamorphicity: a character development method which uses one character to develop another.
I hope this helps (:
Obviously, there are a lot of words that might work, but I'm not sure if they are exactly what you are looking for:
Complimentary, contrast, juxtapose: All mean to compare, possibly opposing, elements.
Take a look at some of the language in this blog post referencing Robert McKee.
