Character Traits Character Feelings/Emo-tions

Traits tell us who the character is on the inside (their personality). Traits are normally seen through the character’s actions, thoughts and words.

Feelings are a character’s emo-tional response to the actions around them. They are usually temporary.

Example traits:Nice, mean, kind, confident, caring, athletic, eager, adventurous, nosy, bossy, shy, rude, determined, protective, thoughtful, inde-pendent, creative, patient, careful, sensitive, insensitive, smart, generous, inconsiderate, brave, hard-working, loyal, respectful, disrespectful, trustworthy, untrustworthy, talented, silly, daring, energetic, lazy, loyal, friendly, unfriendly, selfish, arrogant, stuck-up, grateful, ungrateful, cheerful, polite, impolite, honest, dishon-est, optimistic (sees the best in every situation; looks on the bright side), pessimistic (sees the worst in every situation; nega-tive thinking), reflective

Example feelings/emotions:Shocked, exhausted, jealous, sur-prised, scared, worried, nervous, excited, happy, sad, discouraged, disappointed, confused, desperate, annoyed, embarrassed, angry, frightened, hurt, stressed, anxious, uneasy, proud, hopeful, regretful, relieved, devastated
