Affection styles describe how someone prefers to give and receive care — the idea popularly known as the “love languages”. CharacterDex uses it for fun to type characters; we're not affiliated with The 5 Love Languages, and nothing here is advice.
There are five styles: words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, receiving gifts, and physical touch. A character's style is the way they most naturally show — and most want to receive — care. Open any style below to see who the community types that way.
