Character Trait Analysis 
The introduction needs to capture the reader's attention and make them want to read the rest of your analysis. Your thesis statement should be the last sentence in your introduction. In the body you need to show the character's traits using examples and textual evidence to prove your analysis. You may show how the character changes, or how he/she is portrayed, or how the character has evolved and changed. In the conclusion show what you have learned from this character.
