Characteruzation - is the sum of all observable of a human being, everything knowable thorugh their character such as age and IQ, sex and sexuality, style of speech and gesture etc. All the different aspects of humanity we could know by taking notes on an individual, all these different areas placed together makes a person an individual. The singular assemblage of tarits is characterization... but is not chacter.
Character - This is the person on the inside where as characterization is about what you look and act like where as chacter is who you are when your placed in difficult poostions and if you are a trustworthy or outgoing person for example.
The revelation of true character in contrast or contradicion to characterization is fundamental to all storytelling. Life teaches this principle - 'what seems is not what is'.No matter what they say or do the only way we ever come to know characters in depth is through their choices under pressure.
