Answer 2

Characterization is a literary device that authors use to develop fictional characters in a story, that is to say, to reveal a character's physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs. This characterization can be either direct or indirect.

When writers use direct characterization in a story, they directly tell readers how the character is, make straightforward statements about their personality or traits, or label them as "something." Examples of direct characterization are "Emily is not funny at all," "She's 5 feet tall," "She's a shrew little girl"
