Re: Re: Re: Re: Characters & Characterization
I typically tend to show characterization by their actions.

Ah. Here we go. Body language. Mannerisms. Quirks. Tics. Habits.

How to show that someone is waiting impatiently, that they're angry, that they're lost in thought, that they are creepy, dangerous, lost, frightened, naive, or exhausted, all without saying that they are any of these things.
