I suggest an exercise that will help you understand conventions and best practices in your chosen genre:

Pick two or three score of books from your favourite authors or bestselling authors or authors considered masters within your genre, either from your book shelf, a book store, a library, or the preview feature on Amazon.com
Read the first few paragraphs and take note of how characters are described both directly and through their (verbal and non-verbal) behavior.
Derive an answer to your question from your findings.
