Character traits

When we talk about a character, we often describe that character in terms of character traits. These are descriptive adjectives like happy or sad that tell us the specific qualities of the character. They're the same kind of words that we might use to describe ourselves or others, but we're using them to describe fiction characters in something we've read.

List some of the character traits of 'Anjali's mother's'.

courageous efforts of her mother, and her mother's
true spirit of nationalism. Do you agree? Why, why not?
