Characterization is a name for the methods a writer uses to reveal a character's values, feelings, goals, etc. to readers. When revealing a character's traits, a writer can do so using direct characterization or indirect characterization.

# data[].attributes.body
Direct characterization is when an author describes a character in a straightforward manner, as if telling the reader directly.

# data[].attributes.body
Indirect characterization is a type of literary device that reveals details about a character without stating them explicitly. Instead of describing a character in a straightforward way, the author shows their traits through that character's actions, speech, thoughts, appearance, and how other characters react to them.

# data[].attributes.body
In talk about literature, the term "dynamic character" means simply a character who undergoes some important change in the course of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
