description of one or more characters

Explanation:

Direct characterization is also known as explicit characterization as it is a straightforward description of the character’s appearance or personality. It means that the writer directly states how the character looks and acts. For example, it can be “She was very tall and had brown hair” or “He was a loud, daring person”.

It is the opposite of indirect characterization, which means the writer tries to explain the character’s traits and personality through their actions, thoughts, responses, the way they dress, etc.

To compare them in the example: direct characterization would be saying “She was very poor”. Indirect characterization would be “She wore old clothes handed to her by her older sister. She could never afford to go with us to the cinema.”
