in-character
Performing a role
In-character describes behavior, speech, or actions consistent with a role someone is playing—an actor staying in-character during filming, a tabletop gamer speaking as their character would.
The opposite is out-of-character or breaking character.
She stayed in-character even between takes.
The term also describes actions fitting an established personality: His generosity was completely in-character.
