Before you can define what your character us, you have to understand their personality. Ask yourself a question, such as “What do they like to do?” or "who are they as a person?" When you can answer that question, then you can use the information to discover what their personality is.
Types of Personality Traits
There are many different personality types, and it is sometimes difficult to classify a person into a single type as there are many different personality traits they can possess.
Personality traits are simply:
Actions
Attitudes
Behaviors they possess

Determining Personality Types
Just answering a few questions about likes and dislikes and where they would like to go in life, background stories etc.
In psychology, there are five factors that determine different personality types. The big five factors are:
Openness is appreciation for a variety of experience.
Conscientiousness is planning ahead rather than being spontaneous.
Extroversion involves going out with friends and being energetic.
Agreeableness is, as it says, being agreeable.
Neuroticism refers to worrying or being vulnerable.

Another way of determining your characters personality type is to just ask questions. Ask things like: “If a child is hurt and alone, what would they do?”
How Do I Create My Personality?
The personality of your characters is entirely up to you. It is in the actions they take and the decisions they make. Either they are a patient person, or not; a responsible person or not.
