Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow. Pay close attention to how the author reveals information about the character.
Elara walked through the bustling market, her eyes scanning each stall with a quiet intensity. Unlike her younger brother, Leo, who bounced from vendor to vendor, shouting questions and haggling playfully, Elara preferred to observe. She noticed the intricate patterns on a vendor's scarf, the worried frown on a baker's face as he checked his dwindling stock, and the swift, practiced movements of a fruit seller. A small, intricately carved wooden bird caught her eye. It was dusty and tucked away behind a pile of vibrant fabrics, easily overlooked. Elara picked it up gently, tracing its smooth contours. She didn't buy it, but the simple act of holding it seemed to bring her a quiet satisfaction. Later, when Leo complained about the crowds and the heat, Elara simply smiled, her mind replaying the vibrant scenes and forgotten details she had collected.
