Character Description

(Learning Focus: Transforming children into excellent writers by equipping them with
awe-inspiring vocabulary, descriptive language & impressive phrases.)

Why should we describe a character in detail? You see, all of us are unique individuals.
We have different physical features and personalities. When we describe a character’s
physical characteristics and personality traits, our readers can paint a picture of the
person in their minds. Let us get started!

My brother, ______________________, is a genial boy. His straight black hair

falls into his dark eyes, which twinkle impishly. He has a bronzed complexion and grins
from ear to ear when he is happy. He is a tall, athletic boy. He is also highly intelligent
and has won many scholastic awards. He is a zany person, and his hilarious jokes always
make me laugh heartily.

My sister, ______________________, is a charming girl. She has chocolate-

brown eyes, which sparkle in the sunlight. She is petite and has a rosy complexion. She
has waist-length, wavy hair, and she always has a sweet, dimpled smile on her face. My
sister is an extremely talented artist who paints pretty pictures. She is a dauntless
girl who has a lizard as a pet.

gold. She has short hair and sharp features. She dresses elegantly and always looks
