You know what? In real life, people are not like their generalized newspaper-style descriptions. They just aren't. But in this series, every single person is generalized and stereotyped to death. Just tell the damn story, for gawd's sake. And leave out the novelish, flowery, over-written, generalized, ridiculous descriptions of people.
