Direct characterization is a statement about a character's personality, appearance, habits, goals, values and beliefs.

Direct characterization is present when the author or another character describe the traits of a character through the use of adjectives, descriptive phrases or epithets. In other words, by means of direct characterization, a writer can show different characteristics of a character, such as his/her appearance, motivations, and personality, in a explicit way to his audience. In contrast, indirect characterization presents a character’s traits in an indirect way, that is, through the use of dialogue or an action.
