- Character Traits – bossy, brave, charming, clever, clumsy, confident, curious, energetic
- Character Feelings – angry, confused, content, cranky, embarrassed, excited, frightened
- Character Appearance – tall, short, attractive, wears glasses, grubby, strong, pale, stylish

Hi there, I love this resource but is it possible to increase the size of the font for display. There is so much white space around the words and even in A3 on display the words are hard to read.
