There are no descriptions of Michelle’s character provided by the author in this excerpt. Her thoughts as well as Tasha’s are also unknown for the reader. Only Aisha’s actions provide hints as to what Michelle’s character is. They do it in two manners:
- Her words about Michelle and Jeremy not getting along very well allow the reader to contrast Michelle’s and Jeremy’s personalities and thus find out this way what Michelle’s personality and ideas are.
- Aisha’s actions allow Michel to react and that provides further indications about her personality and demeanor.
The element that is most likely to be featured in a work of realistic fiction is "well-defined character suggested by actual experience." This would provide the most realistic character.
