Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device used to develop fictional characters in a story, that is to say, to reveal their physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs. This characterization can be either direct or indirect.

When the characterization is direct, writers tell readers how a character is in a straightforward manner, in other words, they make direct statements about a character's personality such as in the sentence "He was rude, shuffling to the front of the buffet line and elbowing customers out of his way" which directly states something about the character.
