    Character traits help readers understand stories by revealing why characters act and speak in certain ways. They provide insight into what characters think and feel, their relationships, and how they might act in the future. Authors often show character traits through what characters say, do, think, feel, and how others see them rather than stating traits directly. Readers should analyze characters' words, actions, thoughts, appearances, and relationships to identify descriptive adjectives that reveal their specific qualities. This helps readers better comprehend events, draw conclusions, and predict what may happen next in the story.
