Characters create the action by making choices and taking actions that drive the plot forward. They can also create conflict and obstacles that the protagonist must overcome.

Characters reveal the theme by embodying different values, beliefs, and viewpoints. Through their actions and interactions, they can highlight and explore the underlying messages and ideas of the story.

Characters can reveal the setting by providing information about the time, place, and culture in which the story takes place. They can have specific backgrounds, occupations, and social statuses that help establish the setting.

While characters can certainly describe the plot through their dialogue and narration, their primary role is usually to drive the plot rather than directly describe it.
