What are the characteristics of the persona?

The persona, in the context of literature, is the mask or role that a writer or character assumes in order to present themselves to the audience. It is the outward appearance or the projected image that may or may not reflect the true personality or intentions of the individual. The characteristics of a persona primarily depend on the writer's or character's intent. Some common characteristics may include charm, confidence, wit, or even deception. The persona can be shaped and modified to suit different situations, serving as a tool to manipulate others or to create a desired impression. It is a deliberate construct that allows individuals to control how they are perceived by others.
