# Long Description **Long Description** *A few sentences up to a paragraph that gives more detail about the Character* {% hint style="info" %} **Long Description** can be 0-500 characters. {% endhint %} The Long Description allows you to have the Character describe themselves (traits, history, mannerisms, etc) and the kinds of things they want to talk about. Ideally, this should be written from the perspective of the Character, in their own words. For example, [Chair](https://beta.character.ai/chat?char=sWmJWP54MljfcCu2yAhqI3azaCwYUIVBmfX3wZX6fB0) has an interesting Long Description that serves both as way to give more information about its backstory, but also to show *how* the Chair would talk.

Another example is [WhoWouldWin](https://beta.character.ai/chat?char=YpuGnNPQiGvb0DIg77pDUruORvqEPQAxmabNuOIGylo), which uses the Long Description to reinforce the game concept, repeating some of the Greeting in another form.
