CHARACTER STUDY (I)

First of all, the definitions for indirect and direct characterization are:
- Indirect characterization is the process by which the personality of a fictitious character is revealed through the character's speech, actions, appearance, etc.
-Direct characterization is the process by which the personality of a fictitious character is revealed by the use of descriptive adjectives, phrases, or epithets.

The definitions are very necessary in this post because I am writing a fictitious character with both forms of characterization and I'm also developing a fictitious character that is identical to me.

-Maddie was packing her clothes and any other necessary items for her upcoming new journey. She was jamming out and dancing to music, which showed her happiness in that particular moment. Before her trip, Maddie began looking through old pictures, letters, and even texts to remind her of the ones she cared and loved deeply. She packed some of those valuables for comfort and support while on her new journey. Maddie was dressed in a teal Nike dry-fit t-shirt, black yoga pants, and a pair of solid black tennis shoes with teal accents. This outfit was comfortable and would be absolutely perfect for the trip she was soon to embark on, but Maddie also packed her more stylish clothing just in case.

-Maddie was about 5'10 with curly brown hair that hung right beneath the shoulders. She was athletic, intelligent, kind-hearted, and wanted to do what was best for those around her and even herself. Now, as for appearance, Maddie wore very stylish clothing that had a bohemian chic vibe to it, but she also wore a fair amount of workout clothes due to her involvement with volleyball. She had big brown eyes with winged eyeliner that made her eyes even more noticeable than they already were and full lips. In addition, she had an amazing work ethic and would always work herself to her absolute hardest to achieve her goals and to help others. Maddie also had a great sense of humor and she was the type of person to always be either smiling or laughing even if the joke was terrible, but she also had her own flaws. The biggest flaw she has is the fact that she is so stubborn and at times a bit of a stress ball. These flaws are the imperfections that she has and each human being has a type of flaw that is not considered to be"perfect", which is why flaws make use human.
