Characterization is the process of creating a believable character in fiction, which includes their physical description, traits, mannerism, and dialogue. In literature, characterization can be direct (the author tells the reader what the character is like) or indirect (the author shows the reader what the character is like through the character's thoughts and actions). The purpose of characterization is to make the character come alive and to make the story more interesting for the reader.

Characterization is the process of creating and developing a character in a narrative work of fiction. It involves describing physical appearance, behavior, and thoughts and feelings in order to make the character believable to readers. Dynamic characters are those who undergo significant changes in the course of the narrative. They may learn something, grow, or change their beliefs or attitudes. Flat characters are those who remain essentially the same throughout the course of a narrative. They may have minor changes in their outlook, but their basic personalities remain consistent.
