The type of characterization you are describing is known as indirect characterization. In indirect characterization, the author reveals details about a character through their actions, thoughts, speech, appearance, and the reactions of other characters, allowing readers to infer what the character is like rather than explicitly stating it. This technique helps create a more nuanced and engaging portrayal of characters.
In which type of characterization does the author SHOW readers what a character is like through the way the character speaks, dresses, or acts, what the character thinks, and how other characters react to that character?
