When developing a character, an author relies heavily on description and sensory language primarily to help readers picture what the character is like. This technique allows readers to form a vivid image of the character, enhancing their understanding and connection to the story. It also provides context that can lead to deeper emotional engagement with the character's experiences and motivations.
