- Narrative (Storyline defines personality, gives context (genre, location and setting) therefore has to feed into look and design of the character.
The face is the primary channel to express emotion. (a reason for the many large headed characters).
A lot can be said with posture and body language. This allows for personality traits to be identifiable in silhouette.
Solarski states that how a character carries their physical weight can tell us about their personality - which body part they lead with is important.
Heros will lead with their chest. If a character is leading with their pelvis this shows they are laid back and (or) lazy. If they lead with their head this could show they are intelligent. If a character is leading with their knees this could mean they are sneaky or a coward.

Power and dominance revolves around expanding power. Expand - Takes up space. Weakness - cover up and making yourself look small.
Hero - Superman - Leading with their chest
Lazy - Goofy - Leading with their pelvis
Intelligent - Mike Wazowski - Leading with Head.
