Character parts are elements of a character in a story or play. These can include physical features, such as genes, as well as personality TRAITS and behaviors. Genes, which are five letters long, refer to the hereditary characteristics that are passed down from parent to child. Cameos, which are six letters long, are brief appearances of a character in a movie or television show. TRAITS, which are also six letters long, refer to the qualities or characteristics of a person that make them unique.
