In other words, it is a peculiarity of a distinctive character that each individual possesses; If we focus on the context of facial appearance, it must be defined that all bodily features are influenced by the function between races, which are what allow them to differentiate themselves (white, black, Asian, etc.). As for example the Asian inhabitants are characterized by having small eyes with a linear appearance; The peculiarity of the black race is that they are dark-skinned, with somewhat coarse features, generally their hair is dark in color and curly, while the whites have light skin and slightly more delicate features.
However, this word is not only used to describe physical aspects, but can also be used to mention behaviors of individuals that make them worthy of detachment: “Julia had a heroic trait when helping that baby in the car”, “Pedro scoffed of the lady in front, a characteristic feature of him ”. The word trait can also be used to describe an expression or characteristic of an action: "the film, despite the fact that it was an action, had comedic features", "in the middle of the play the protagonist imposed a suspenseful trait that enveloped public".
