Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.
Corinthians 15:33
Describing a character can be tricky. It’s best to invoke a picture of appearance and personality in a sentence or two without being too descriptive. Below are example of good character descriptions.
He had a rubbery, expressive face
A tall haughty looking man – his angular face seemed designed to intimidate
Stocky man
He had an ebullient (cheerful and full of energy) head of grey hair that refused to be tamed into a side parting and instead formed messy mounds at intervals across his square head.
He wore small gold rimmed spectacles
He had a round, friendly face.
Beautifully shaped dark eyebrows
Grey, green eyes
Audrey hepburn-esque elegance
She wears her beauty with ease and grace.
High arched eyebrows
Hooked nose
Firm, slightly cruel thin lipped mouth
He has an air of importance about him
Her mouth was set in a grim line
He looked hollow eyes and shell shocked.
He had a wild air about him
His face was flushed with drink, laughter, joy etc.
A dimple forming on one cheek as he smiles
A natural blonde with fine features and beautiful skin
Elegant hands
Fine bone structure
Long, horse face
His face was a grimace of pain
Classically handsome profile
She walks with poise – graceful and elegant
He’s an older man dressed in a sober suit and tie with tidy, silver hair
A willowy blonde woman with cheekbones you could sharpen a knife on.
A ruddy complexion
A short, unremarkable man
Jovial mask
She had a head of close cropped steel-grey hair and was wearing a pair of enormous owlish glasses.
He was poised and reserved
Square shoulders and a smile that led to a pair of deep dimples
An air of detachment
Cornflower blue eyes
He had the oily look of a salesman that works on commission and all the charm too
He moved slowly and deliberately
Square jaw
Porcelain skin
Dark oval eyes framed by large glasses
Shark, slavic cheekbones
He had a flat, dour face with a prominent nose, thin lips and world weary, heavy-lidded eyes.
Flashing intelligent eyes
Her skin smooth and pale as marble
Her face was set in stone
She was an enchanting old lady wit sparkling blue eyes and a vivacious temperament.
