Does your main character have some unique funny trait. Like if he like zoro, can't navigate and always get lost. Or like Yuna.( I mean Yuna walking bag of trait. I can't even choose one best example)

Because my mc have one. She rat (not literally, she just like snitching )

A strange reverence for parsley I guess, I think I had her say at one point that parsley would make a better bouquet than any flower and that it is something like "our closest approximation to what heaven is like" ?

It's a cool herb idk, she's just a weirdo

My first character in the story is that if it had to show their face.
Every thing in the nature will block it, meaning you won't even know what it looks like.
It only occurs once with light but if I have other plans, creative thinking here we go.

My second character is immune to shame or rather ignorant.
Yes see that ghost far away? You should be scared! Wait why you shaking hands with it?!

Unique? No - most of my character traits are my own spin on older characters.

Jack Diamond has the same inability to take anything seriously except his current assignment as his forebears, Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe.

In another story I have not posted anywhere yet, the initial MC is a gamer, who thinks of almost everything in terms of games or code - I probably don't show it as well as I should but that is his main trait. Each of the other characters has, what I hope, is a distinctive trait but maybe I am not the best judge of it.

Mine is that he wants to be a gentleman but dresses like a thug because he doesn’t realise his sense of style is whack. Just generally being ignorant about how ‘cool’ does not equal looking good.

Traits? My characters do have, but they have quirks as well.

EDIT: Character traits may vary from their behavior, while quirks were unusual nonsense they do out of habits.

Henry (from Henry Rider: Clown Hunter) is a klaon who feeds on human laughter, so Unique Funny Traits are her three middle names. The most obvious one is that she cusses with food. "Poprocks on pizza! For the love of cheese! Mothercrumpet!" Her reasoning is, any room temperature IQ-ed stooge can cuss. It takes creativity and wit to do it with food. But as her instructor constantly says in reply, "Curse like an adult, dammit!"

My MC often zaps her magical pet snake for calling out her emotions, and she reduced her magical pet dog’s language repertoire to strictly barks because she didn’t like it when he complained about her lack of appetite.

Meg has developed a bunch of odd traits since she took her true form as a dragon a couple Saturdays ago.

One is that she can't exactly talk, but she can mimic words as sounds. She knows English pretty well, and can write in it just fine, and uses AAC and text to speech to communicate with people when she has a device she can use. But, even though she can learn to make the sounds of simple words, such as "stop" and "go" and such, and knows what those words mean, she can't easily string them together in sentences. And when she's in a tight situation, she might even forget them.

Another odd trait she has is that despite the fact that she is very obviously a fire breathing dragon with wings and horns and a tail and everything, people who've known her from before seem to recognize her anyway, and strangers accept her and treat her as a person. This isn't unique to her as a dragon. The other dragons in the world are experiencing the same thing. But it is pretty odd, and people do wonder why it is that most people aren't surprised or scared by the presence of dragons.

She has a gizzard and has to swallow rocks in order to help digest her food, and she finds that odd, because she didn't have to do that before.

And, she can sense the use of "magic", or whatever it should be called. That might be something only she can do. It hasn't been investigated further, yet.

And when she gets hungry, she gets hungry for seagulls, despite the fact that they don't taste great to her and hunting them is a little disturbing.

There's a white witch who has STRONG feelings about Disney+ and streaming content but will shame and pile drive you into a marathon viewing session if you haven't seen classic Simpsons.

Preteen boy who touts his manliness despite being transformed into a girl and also really digs magical girls...

Teen volleyball player who has a detailed, realistic plan for hunting Bigfoot and blowing up the Moon.
