The type of characterization you are referring to is called indirect characterization. In indirect characterization, the author reveals a character's personality and traits through various methods, such as their speech, actions, thoughts, appearance, and the reactions of other characters, rather than explicitly stating qualities about the character. This allows readers to infer and interpret the character's traits themselves.
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?
