Hair, body type, skin, posture, face etc. It is also important to say how the character acts. E.G. Angry, happy, nice etc. Finally how the character reacts in the story to different things
Action, speech - dialogue, thoughts, physical description, persona (who they are...readers reaction), effect on others, names, characters background.
