Character

An agent who has one or more discernible traits or qualities of personality. Characters may be generally categorized as more or less round (three-dimensional) or flat (two-dimensional), static (unchanging) or dynamic (changing); they may function as types (a stock or stereotyped character, such as "the hooker with the heart of gold") or foils (functioning in stark contrast to another character).
