: Re: Whether to describe personality of a character or let the readers deduce it based on the actions I am facing this situation where description of the personality of a character is quite important.

Picture a few people that you have formed opinions of.....friends, family, coworkers, celebrities, strangers. Reflect on how you formed those opinions.

Most likely they came from your own experiences interacting with and observing these people, and maybe from hearing other people characterize them. Almost certainly little to none of your opinions are based on how these people describe themselves.

Now picture how you want your reader to view your character. Act accordingly.

Use your own psychology as a sounding board for your writing.
