What makes a character?

At first I had the idea that it is mostly the look of the character.
Just the way it looks.
But that is not all for sure.

I had the idea of the coffee bean from the begining.
Checked different eyes, legs and arms - but the general idea was constant.

When I started to work on animation I realized that what makes the full appearance
it is also the way it moves and behaves. The way it runs, jumps and so on...
Uploaded two different movement types to YT channel to see how it works:



So it is more levels that give the overall impression.
Like in real life...

For sure adding sound/voice will bring another level to the appearance.
