Characterization is the process used in fiction to convey information about characters. It involves directly or indirectly presenting character traits through what characters say, what they do, and how other characters interact with them. There are two main types - direct characterization tells the reader traits through direct statements, while indirect characterization shows traits through a character's actions, speech, thoughts, and interactions with others.
