I always see people like this. I know this guy who has several bird-like features and his last name is Tweety.
I am just wondering if there is a word for this. Like onomatopoeia.

The term for names that match a person's characteristics is "aptronyms" or "charactonyms." These names are sometimes deliberately chosen by authors to reinforce or emphasize the traits of their characters. They add a layer of meaning and can help readers better understand and remember the characters.

What do smart authors work with to manipulate readers?
Authors use a variety of writing techniques to manipulate the reader's feelings, thoughts, likes and dislikes. The way they form their storylines is often to manipulate a reader's feelings towards one of the characters, for example an innocent character being mistreated by someone, or rejected, creates sympathy for that character. Also, the words used to describe something, someone or somewhere can manipulate the reader, and using words which create imagery inside a reader's mind (more specifically adjectives), which can help to create a more realistic feeling for the reader, meaning they become more emotionally involved in the storyline.

How do you relate to a main character?
You relate to a character usually by a feeling that the main character has on a topic or an event that the main character goes through.The usual "Yes, that is exactly how I feel!" feeling means you can relate to the character.That is how authors form their characters. Authors try to make their characters able to relate to you. That way you can be more drawn into the story, go deeper with the characters, etc.For example, the well known character Percy Jackson from the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians is very easy to relate to, which is one of the main reasons why the series is a best selling series.The author formed him into the everyday kid, so every kid could relate to something about Percy.Percy Jackson feels left out, his parents are separated, he has ADHD, he is dyslexic, he does not know if he will ever be known or loved by someone, he does not think he looks good enough, etc.Every kid/ teen has these feelings and can relate to Percy's situation, so they read on to figure out how Percy Jackson handles these trials.But like the answer says at the top, you can usually relate to a character by a similar feeling, hope, event, or wish.
