Character Traits

I have a list of variables on one of my worlds where I can insert a trait with a tooltip, usually used in the side panel on a character's article. The table below is a list of every variable.

Example: Aloof

This page consits a list of many character traits and a short description. All traits are based on ProWritingAid's Character Traits page, and each trait has a link to the specific page to learn more.

This is not a complete list of traits; there are way too many of them, and many traits overlap with others. I suggest you click the "learn more" link (opens in a new tab) for a trait for more information and examples.

I didn't use every trait from ProWritingAid because these traits are meant as general descriptions of a character, and not necessarily for an "in the moment" type of emotion.

For example, a character may experience depression during the story due to the death of a loved one, but this is not their fundamental trait. They are not consistently depressed throughout the story and are not generally known for it. Of course, if the character has clinical depression, then they would have the "depressed" trait.

Note: I have also added [Positive], [Neutral], and [Negative] at the end of the description, and icons so you can search for a specific connotation.

(I'd like to have the connotations colored, but I can't do that with this special table) :(
