traits
What defines someone
Traits are distinguishing qualities or characteristics.
A person's traits might be physical (tall, red-haired) or behavioral (patient, quick-tempered).
In biology, traits are heritable features passed from parents to offspring: eye color is a genetic trait.
Character traits describe personality: Honesty is her best trait.
