# Short Description

**Short Description**  *How would your Character describe themselves?*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Short Description** can be at 0-50 characters.
{% endhint %}

The Short Description, as the name implies, gives the system a concise way to describe the Character and scenario. You might also think of the Short Description as a Title, as it will appear in listings of characters after the name.

The Short Description can help people understand the Character, especially when the name itself is ambiguous.&#x20;

For example, if the Character’s name is Maria, a helpful Short Description might be “I can help you practice Intermediate Spanish” or even just “Spanish Teacher.”

You can write a (short) complete sentence (“I am a Greek historian”) or it could be as if it’s their answer to the question “What do you do?”, i.e. “Greek historian”&#x20;
