So basically, a user is prompted to input a number of stairs and a staircase when a guy on it is generated. I know this is sloppy and my variable names are rough, I'm actively working to change them now. I thought I would go ahead and post the working code though. How can I improve on this? What can I do better to do more with less. Thanks. PSA: I'm very new to Python and general programming. 
Code:

    def render(num, num3):
        num2 = num - 1
        white_space7 = ""
        
        white_space = ""
        for x in range(num):
            white_space = white_space + "       "
        c = num
        white_space5 = makeSpace(Num - num2)
        if num3 != 0:
            white_space7 = makeFloor(num3)
            print(white_space + "      *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "   o  *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "  /|\ *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "  / \ *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "*******" + white_space7 + "*")
        else:
            print(white_space + "      *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "   o  *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "  /|\ *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "  / \ *" + white_space5 + "*")
            print(white_space + "*******" + white_space7 + white_space5 + "*")
    
    def makeSpace(num):
        white_space4 = ""
        for x in range(num):
            white_space4 = white_space4 + "       "
        return white_space4
    
    def makeFloor(num):
        white_space6 = ""
        num4 = num + 1
        for x in range(num4):
            white_space6 = white_space6 + "*******"
        return white_space6
        
        
    
    Num = raw_input("Number of Stairs:" )
    Num = int(Num)
    
    white_space2 = ""
    for x in range(Num + 1):
        white_space2 = white_space2 + "       "
    print(white_space2 + "*******")
    y = Num
    
    white_space2 = ""
    
    
    for x in range(Num):
        if (x < Num - 1):
            render(y,0)
            y -= 1
        else:
            render(y,Num - 1)
            y -= 1
