Characterization Traits Novels & Stories

"I read whatever books I could get my hands on. The pack library was the one place I could hide sometimes." Something like guilt flickered across his face, but he quickly refocused. "So based on those descriptions, who do you think is which?" I sipped my tea, considering. "Declan is definitely fire. He's always been the most passionate, the quickest to anger." Seth nodded. "That tracks. He's always been the most impulsive of us." "Francis is air," I continued. "Analytical, always in his head, planning ten steps ahead." "And Nelson?" Seth asked.

I wasn’t about to get sucked into it. “Why don’t you want to talk to me?” He countered as he gave me a smirk. I gave him a sweet smile. “Because.” He chuckled at me. “Because why?” I took a deep breath and let it out. “Because I don’t usually socialize with people who have poor character.” I snapped. His eyebrows rose. “Usually…so I have a chance.” Another smirk graced his lips. I rolled my eyes at him but didn’t respond. “But enlighten me, what are my poor character traits?” He leaned back and sipped his coffee.

With only words, her thighs would glisten, hips would writhe, and nipples would harden. Charli was the most responsive and sexual woman I’d ever known. That wasn’t her only quality. Her sexuality didn’t define her being. My Charli was also the smartest and most determined. Fucking stubborn. While I had plans to redden her ass for that, it was a trait I nonetheless admired. I couldn’t—wouldn’t—think about what he’d done to scare her. Instead, I’d think about what could be done to frighten him. Bullies thrived on weakness.

To some degree, we’re all like this: fundamentally flawed, but doing our best to make life better. Instead of painting the characters in the novel with these simplistic brushes, I tried my best to instead show them as varying degrees of Selfless and Selfish. It’s out of these two traits that we can determine all sorts of ideologies. Add on top of that each characters’ dreams and desires, and we get a much better sense of who they are. Do they lean left or right on the political spectrum? Are they about helping others or profiting off them? When they kill, do they do it to protect, or out of greed? Are they making other peoples’ lives better, or only making their own life better?

In a husky voice, he said, "You're not silly or clumsy. You've just never touched my body, so you never caught me getting hard. No matter how much I try to hide it, my body has a mind of its own. "You have many great qualities. You know how to cook and write scripts. You stand up for your friends, and you're easy to coax when you're angry. Not to mention, you have a big heart. Miss Bandit, your looks are the least important thing to me. Your personality is what makes you attractive.

It was something something you needed to understand, not explain in a few words. She thought for a moment and said, "Well, my methods are generally for most men. We'll need to analyze Quintus specifically. I don't know him, so how can I teach you?" Charlene said, "I feel like the sun is shining on me when he smiles. He's handsome, sincere, and capable. I feel like he's radiating light when he's focused on something. He always says, 'my goodness or 'oh my goodness,' and even curses when he's excited, but it doesn't make him any less adorable."

He assures me, taking my right hand in his and squeezing it a little. "That's good to know. So what's your own definition of an ideal woman and you had better not lie to me." I warn jokingly and he chuckles. "To be very honest, I do have my own definition of a perfect woman and I always look out for certain traits in a woman because that's what I like and it has always seemed to work well for me. My ideal type of woman is a woman who knows what she wants and is never afraid to speak up. I've always being attracted to women with stubborn personalities and I like women who don't catch feelings at first."

If the word "fun" appears as a character in a film, Bullet should be the first in line to audition for it. He's in such a mood. His personality is like a golden retriever boy. He is the life of the party; I am not generally a morning person, but talking with him really lifted my spirits. He is really mischievous, yet he understands his limits. He frequently asks outrageous questions, and he is so honest in his testimony that his intrusive thoughts always triumph. But, beyond that, he is a gentleman with strong emotional intelligence, which makes him appear better than his attractive looks.

She snickers as if what she said is funny. I quirk my eyebrow and she sighs and rolls her eyes. "Fine. My friends wouldn't stop gushing about her. I don't know what they see in that tramp. They said she was the best, but I won't believe it till I see it." For some reason, that fills me with pride. The real bitch is actually Adeline, not Charlotte. Charlotte is actually funny, humble, kind, sincere, honest and caring. She puts others before herself and that's always an admirable trait. She's even more independent than I am. She built her business from the ground up, like my dad while I'm just following in his footsteps. Everything was always handed to me on a silver platter.

They couldn't be twins or even brothers. They were polar opposites. Jeremy was handsome, sweet, a playboy, romantic, had manners and cared about people.
