Sub-index of CharacterizationTropes, and overlaps with sister index, CharacterizationByItem, because most actions involve doing them with something, and if that something's important enough, then it goes in both indexes.

Also, high overlap with BodyLanguage, because bodies embody people, so what they say with their bodies says something about them. And HobbyAndPastimeTropes, because that's literally about an activity someone does, as characterization, but it also talks about plots and such, so it's not a clear sub-index.
