If a list of traits advances the plot and/or theme, then that's a compelling reason to do it. If listing traits does not advance the plot and/or theme, that's a compelling reason to not do it. | |
| Mar 12, 2018 at 17:32 | comment | added | Erdrik Ironrose | I think this is a bit broad, what exactly is a "trait"? Do you mean describing them physically, or how they handle situations? Their favourite food, or their abilities? Considering a "trait" is defined as: "a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person", could you be more specific? | |
