Descriptions

When describing a person, here are some ideas you may take into account:

• Physical appearance

• Personality traits

• Experiences

• Motivations

• Relationships

Physical appearance: What does a character look like?

Consider:

• Age, height, complexion

• Hair length and colour

• Other distinctive features, such as freckles, dimples, braces, glasses, etc.

• Clothing and style - well dressed, grungy, free spirited... What message  might the subject be trying to deliver with his/her style?

• Movement - is your character graceful, clumsy or awkward? Or ordinary and without charm?

Use similes and metaphors, for example, Her lips were as red as cherries. Her black hair glistened like a raven. My best friend is sharp as a pencil.

Personality: How would you describe his/her personality?

Describe personality traits

Moreover, consider this: 

• What makes this person unique? Why is your character the way he or she is? 

• Does your character have special abilities or virtues?
