* Use verbs to show how a character acts or interacts with the world. (ex: "He glanced nervously at the door", "She smiled warmly")
* Use dialogue to reveal a character's personality and voice. (ex: "I don't need your pity", he snapped.")
* Use metaphors and similes to add depth and imagery to your descriptions. (ex: "Her eyes were as bright as stars", "He was like a lion trapped in a cage")
Remember, the best character descriptions are subtle and reveal information about the character without explicitly stating it.
