Assuming the RP uses the classic appearance/personality/history triad. I always feel like I either write too much or too little for "Personality." I want to avoid writing myself into a corner by over-predicting everything my character could and would feel, trying to dodge a 2+ paragraph wall of "maybes." But I also want to give a good picture of how I imagine my character to act so they stand out. I think appearance sections are a necessary evil and have stopped using them to "flavor" a character, so I need to use the personality section to its full advantage.
Basically, what do you think are the key components of a character's personality? What do you look for?
