Directly, Nathaniel Hawthorne states through other peoples thoughts that she is beautiful, tall, thin, and dignified. She is also said to be good with a needle considering she helps the poor by donating clothes to them.

Indirectly, she is characterized by words, appearance, and what others think about her. In the beginning (which later diminishes) she is thought of as a a shameless tramp through the eyes of the women in the town, but really she is dignified in that while walking down the prison steps, she doesn't rush herself, she holds her shoulders back, and head up. Later in the novel, she is considered to be loyal, seeing as though she will not give up the name of her child's father. She is also thought of as charitable with all the work she does for the poor.
