    WHAT ARE CHARACTER TRAITS?
    Character traits are qualities, attributes, or
    characteristics that make up the personality or
    behaviour of a fictional character.

    These traits can be both positive AND


    negative, and shape the way a character thinks,
    feels, and acts in a narrative.

    EXAMPLE:

    Brave (e.g. a hero!)


    Evil (e.g. a villain!)
    A WELL-CRAFTED CHARACTER…

    The author can tell us these traits directly, but will mostly SHOW us the
    character traits in action. Our job as readers is to figure out the character traits
    from what the character says, thinks, and does.

    DEVELOPMENT
    WHAT IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?
    Character development is the journey of
    crafting evolving characters in a narrative,
    revealing their growth over time.

    Authors achieve character development through


    descriptive language, character interactions,
    and inner conflicts.

    EXAMPLE:
    Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) goes from being
    mean and nasty to nice and generous.

    literary characters.
    ● To use these skills to formulate our own
    character profiles.
