The example of writing a description through direct characterization is:
Bethany had pale green eyes, the color of mint leaves in the spring.
This sentence explicitly describes a character's physical trait (the color of Bethany's eyes) without requiring the reader to infer anything, which is characteristic of direct characterization.
