One way is through detailed physical descriptions. For example, you can describe a character's hair color, height, and body type. This gives the reader a visual image. Another important aspect is the character's backstory. By revealing their past experiences, like a difficult childhood or a great achievement, it helps to explain their current behavior and personality. Also, dialogue plays a key role. The way a character speaks, their choice of words and tone, can show their education level, social status, and temperament.
