A friend and I have been arguing about the best way to describe a character.
My friend says one should point out the major characteristics to provide a framework for the imagination to work within. Describing only bare details will simply leave a confused mental image.
I personally think, you guessed it, the opposite. I'd rather the character's context and environment helps me figure out their aesthetic. The details I'd want to be told, maybe one or two, would only be the ones that tell me something about their character or that are important to the narrative.
So, /lit/
What's your opinion on describing a character?
Pic unrelated, its hard to find /lit/ related imagery.
