# Brief Explanations:
Indirect characterization shows a character's traits through their actions, thoughts, speech, and interactions. It's not about explicit statements. Scenery and lighting are more for setting - not main for indirect characterization. Using other characters' thoughts is part of it but the most comprehensive option is using actions, thoughts, and speech.
