Character Design is the combination of physical traits and narrative. The look of the character has to be informed by the personality and context, genre location and setting. The face is the primary channel to express emotion of a person (Colman), hence the many big headed cartoon characters. A lot can be said in the posture and body language.
Salarski
Hands are an effective way in expressing personality, how a character carries their weight also informs us about personality - particularly which body part they lead with.
Examples
Chest - Confidence strength heroic.
Pelvis - Lazy, laid back.
Head - Implies intelligence
Knees - Cowardice
Power and dominance revolve around expanding.
Power: take space up + expand.
Weakness: making small, taking low space.
