Proud/Modest
To be proud means that a character has a sense of self-worth.
Extremely proud characters cannot take insult without injury and take
great pleasure in their accomplishments. Proud characters are
determined and refuse to accept failure or humiliation.
Modest means that your character is humble and inordinately concerned
with impressing others, or with their opnions. Extremely modest
characters are quiet, meek or even self-critical. They do not seek
recognition and are thick-skinned when it comes to insults.
Suspicious/Trusting
Suspicious means that a person reacts to strangers and exotic ideas
with skepticism. They are unlikely to believe what they hear unless
proof is offered that an enthusiastic approach is more appropriate
than cautious curiosity. An extremely suspicious character is called
xenphobic, skeptical or a doubter.
To be trusting is to believe information withoutany inclination to
suspect its falsity. An excessively trusting person is gullible and
credulous, perhaps even a dupe.
Taciturn/Garrulous
Taciturn means that a person is terse, close-mouthed, valuing
effective action over talk. Taciturn characters are stoical but bottle
up their frustrations. Their idea of wit is a short, snappy come-back;
especially if it silences a long winded person. An extremely taciturn
person is a master of understatement. They are called dour, evasive,
secretive, inscrutable or even silent.
Garrulousindicates that a character likes to talk, an attribute
usually associated with women.Talkative people share their problems
and hopes. They enjoy talkingwith their friends and acquaintances as a
form of relaxation. Excessively talkative people are called frivilous,
boastful, loud-mouths and gossips.
